TSK · John 14:15

“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Jesus replied,“If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come from God and am now here. I have not come on my own initiative, but he sent me.

If you obey my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.

Let anyone who has no love for the Lord be accursed. Our Lord, come!

I am not saying this as a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love by comparison with the eagerness of others.

I pray that according to the wealth of his glory he will grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

My confident hope is that I will in no way be ashamed but that with complete boldness, even now as always, Christ will be exalted in my body, whether I live or die.

You have not seen him, but you love him. You do not see him now but you believe in him, and so you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy,

We love because he loved us first.

(Now this is love: that we walk according to his commandments.) This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning; thus you should walk in it.
