“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. I will ask the Father, and he will send another Companion, who will be with you forever. This Companion is the Spirit of Truth, whom the world can’t receive because it neither sees him nor recognizes him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be with you. “I won’t leave you as orphans. I will come to you. Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too. On that day you will know that I am in my Father, you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them.” (John 14:15-21, CEB)
Is the first sentence a conditional statement?
Meaning we show that we love Jesus by keeping his commandments?
And if that is the meaning, what are his commandments?
What if I said that sentence is not a conditional statement but a factual statement?
If you love Jesus, you will do what he told us to do.
That is actually how love works. You do not tell someone you love them and work for their demise.
You do not tell someone you love them and then work to take away their rights, or make them hide who they really are.
SO you will show the world you love Jesus by loving the world.
