“Abide In My Love”

Blessings folk!

Today’s reading:

John 15:9-17


pastedGraphic
Believers are called to abide in the Lord.
We must abide in His love.
To step outside of abiding is sin.

Look at how it works.
Father loves Jesus.
Jesus loves us.
We abide in that love.

Not love that we “whip up.”
Not emotions.
Not cognitive constructs.
The Love of the Lord is where we abide.

His joy is in us.
This joy is full, if we obey His commandments and abide in Him.

The Lord affirms the new commandment that He had given earlier. “Love one another, just as I have loved you.”

Note who we are…
  • Loved
  • Friends of the Lord...not slaves...Friends
  • Chosen by the Lord
  • Appointed by the Lord
  • Fruit bearers

We see again that if we abide and walk in this manner, then whatever we ask of the Father in the name of Jesus He will give.

Abide.
Love one another.
