Jesus asked Peter three times, “Do you love me?” Before we can answer that question ourselves, though, we must understand what it means to love Jesus. Believing in God or being religious alone does not make one a Christian, Alistair Begg teaches. So how do we know if we truly love Christ? Scripture urges us to examine our hearts for evidence of a personal relationship with Jesus and obedience to His commands.
15b“If you love me, you will ckeep my commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another dHelper,6 to be with you forever, 17even ethe Spirit of truth, fwhom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and gwill be7 in you.
18“I will not leave you as orphans; hI will come to you. 19iYet a little while and the world will see me no more, but jyou will see me. kBecause I live, you also will live. 20lIn that day you will know that mI am in my Father, and nyou in me, and oI in you. 21pWhoever has my commandments and qkeeps them, he it is who loves me. And rhe who loves me swill be loved by my Father, and I will love him and tmanifest myself to him.” 22uJudas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it vthat you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23Jesus answered him, w“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and xwe will come to him and ymake our home with him. 24Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And zthe word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.
25“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26But the aHelper, the Holy Spirit, bwhom the Father will send in my name, che will teach you all things and dbring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
