John 14:15-24
If you love Me, you will obey what I command. . . . Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves Me. . . . If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching. . . . He who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. . . .
Love really does make the world go 'round. God's love for us and for the whole universe He created. He put His order into it so it would run effectively, and He designed this world to provide everything we need right here. He told us to take care of it and use it, and He gave us His directions, the Manufacturer's Instructions, to keep it running for our benefit. When we love Him, we will follow His instructions, and when we love one another, our relationships will run more smoothly. It's when we don't follow His rules, and not love the way He loves, then we get into trouble environmentally, relationally and spiritually.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
