Bible Question: can someone please explain the meaning for the scripture on John 14:21 :"He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him." |
Bible Answer: Dear Gary4God, The internal evidences of God's work always have an external expression (John 3:8). The first step in obedience is believing that God has done what He said He has done (John 3:36). This is only possible after regeneration, a work done by the divine choice of God the Father, by the atonement of the Son, through the power of the Holy Spirit. A person who is regenerate is empowered to obey. That person will be and live an expression of love for God (Mark 12:29-31). Remember, true love of Jesus always produces a life of growing obedience (John 14:15). In Him, Doc |
