‏ John 14:15

Teaching on the Holy Spirit

15 “If you love me, you will obey ^{▼▼tn Or “will keep.”} my commandments. ^{▼▼sn Jesus’ statement If you love me, you will obey my commandments provides the transition between the promises of answered prayer which Jesus makes to his disciples in vv. 13-14 and the promise of the Holy Spirit which is introduced in v. 16. Obedience is the proof of genuine love.}
