John 14:23–"Jesus answered them, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.'"
There are many conditional statements in the Scripture, statements made that indicate the distinct and certain responsibility that God has placed upon humans to believe and to obey. This is one of those statements. In simple and candid words, Jesus is telling us to love Him and to keep His Word.
In reality, this is a direct assertion, a clear statement about what God desires from us. We would do well to listen to Jesus' prescription.
