Read: John 13:34; John 14:15; John 15:9-17;
“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."
John 14:15-18 NIV
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other."
John 15:9-17 NIV
Thoughts: The Holy Spirit was given to us in love to guide us into all Truth. I am so grateful for that. I am grateful also to be chosen to bear fruit for God's kingdom. And in Galations, love is part of the fruit of God's Spirit. I am so grateful for Jesus sacrifice on the cross for my sins. That really was the ultimate act of love. People will know we are Christians by our love towards one another and even our enemies.
