Lesson 27 – Loving God is obey Jesus' Teachings

John 14:23

 Jesus replied,

“Anyone who loves me (Jesus) will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.

 In this verse, Jesus is speaking to his disciples, emphasizing the importance of love and obedience. He states that those who love him will obey his teachings. Love for Jesus is expressed through a genuine desire to follow and live according to his teachings.

Jesus goes on to explain that when someone loves him and obeys his teachings, both he and the Father will come and make their home with that person. This indicates a deep and intimate relationship with God. It suggests that those who love and obey Jesus will experience the presence and indwelling of God in their lives.

This verse highlights the inseparable connection between love for Jesus, obedience to his teachings, and a close relationship with God. It conveys the idea that love and obedience are not separate but intricately linked. True love for Jesus is demonstrated through obedience, and in return, God's love and presence are experienced by the individual.

John 14:23 encourages believers to demonstrate their love for Jesus through obedience and to experience the intimate fellowship and presence of God in their lives as a result.
