SCRIPTURE

"If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments." — John 14:15 (ASV)

If you love me, keep my commandments.—Compare Notes on John 14:17; John 13:34; John 15:10. The connection here is through the condition “in My name,” which includes willing obedience to His commands. The word “My” is emphatic—“The commandments which you have received from Me.” Those of this last discourse are perhaps prominent in the thought.
