Show Notes

Toward the end of His earthly life, Jesus could testify to His disciples that He had been faithful to His Father’s commandments, and, as a result, had remained in His Father’s love (John 15:10). Jesus did not see the commandments as negative obstacles to be dismissed or discarded; rather, He saw them as guidelines for a loving relationship with Him and with other people. When John, the beloved disciple, reminds Christians of their obligation to God, he uses the same language of love and unity that Jesus does in the Gospel. 

 

Additional scriptures referenced include John 21:25; John 15:10; 1 John 1:1; John 1:1; Genesis 1:1; John 10:10; John 11:25, 26; 1 John 4:9-16, 20-21; John 12:32; James 2:14–26; 1 John 5:1-5; and Psalm 1.
