keeping God's commands

Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.” John 14:21 NLT

Can you see what I see? The promise that is part of this statement? It is not just a reminder to keep Jesus' commands but a promise: the Father will love us, Jesus will love us and reveal Himself, His nature, His glory to us.

If we live in vital union with Him, as in He is our righteousness. We are not self-righteous, then we will see how good He can be to us. My salvation does not depend on me. It depends on Christ,  His sacrifice, His purity, His life, not mine. I am not good enough without Him, but with Him I am a beloved child of God and all heaven is open to me. Amen!
