Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 15:8-9

"Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and [so] shall ye be my disciples. Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in my love." — John 15:8-9 (ASV)

By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you:

What a glorious word! I scarcely know a text more deep, more full than this. After the same manner as God the Father loves the Son – after that same sort does the Son love us. Hear the words again, As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; continue in my love. He confirms us in it, and instructs us to live in the enjoyment of it.
