“Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” John 14:21 (NIV)
Bible promises often come with conditions stipulated and that is true in the case of this verse. This promise is for those who obey the words which Jesus has spoken. During the last evening before Jesus is arrested to end up on the cross and die, He gave his followers many promises which were given to us as well. By obeying Jesus we show our love for Him. But the promise then that goes with it makes it worth it all. Obedience to God's word shows our love for Jesus. He promises to love us and to show Himself to us. What a wonderful privilege to have Jesus as a part of our lives each day and to know that He loves us as we live in obedience to Him.
