We read in Johns gospel ch 14:21 The person who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him [I will make Myself real to him].
According to Leary he writes Precious Jewelry is beauty in itself unless worn reveals true beauty much more, thus also the precepts of God are beautiful when praised but far more lovely when rightly observed and conspicuous in our lives.
Rev Simpson writes about ch 14:17 He dwelleth with you and shall be in you” Do not fail to mark these two stages in Christian life. The one is the Spirit’s work in us, the other is the Spirit’s personal coming to abide within us. All true Christians know the first, but few, it is to be feared, understand and receive the second. There is a great difference between my building a house and my going to reside in that house and make it my home. And there is a great difference between the Holy Spirit’s work in regeneration.
Following His words reveal the image of the invisible God , this kindles love and prompts to obedience .
Following Vs 22Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Vs 27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Can we ask for more.? The truth is hidden in obedience to the word , that reveals in turn His love for you and manifesting in our lives daily . Allow God to live through you.
