“Do you love Jesus?” If you were to find yourself in an examination with only this question on the test, could you answer with confidence? Preaching from John 14, Alistair Begg explains that true love for Christ requires a personal relationship with Him. This love isn’t just about believing facts; it’s about understanding our sin, Christ’s salvation, and our responsibility of repentance and obedience. When we know and trust Jesus for salvation, then we show that we truly love Him.
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.
