Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 15:10

"If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father`s commandments, and abide in his love." — John 15:10 (ASV)

If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

I said just now that the doctrinal words of Christ were to be regarded by us. So, dearly-beloved, the precepts or commands of God must always be regarded. It is an idle tale for people to talk of a mythical visionary love to Christ which does not result in obedience to his will. We must keep his commandments, or we cannot truly say to him, You know all things; you know that I love you.

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love.

You shall know it; you shall live in it; it shall be the atmosphere you breathe.

If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love;

You shall live in the realization of my love if you live in obedience to me.
