This is my command: Love each other

John 15:9-17

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other.

Bear fruits: It is  love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control (Galatians 5:22)

Why?

Jesus told us many times: love each other, this command is greater love.

If we do this command we will remain in God's love, just as Jesus remains in God's love.

Whatever we asked in Jesus' name the Father will give us if we do what Jesus commanded.

It is not we choose Jesus, but Jesus chose us. This is the grace from the Lord upon me.

我們從愛的觀點來說結果子。

從愛的觀點來遵守主的命令。愛主的人遵守主的命令，遵守主的命令，主愛我們，從遵守主的命令知道我們愛主。遵守主命令是通往快樂的道路，不是在約束我們。

吃飯得到的滿足，但是領人歸主得到的滿足更大。所以耶穌在井邊告訴門徒，帶領人信主就是我的食物了，比吃飽更滿足！

耶穌稱我們為朋友，所以一切事都告訴我們，因為耶穌關心我們。

去給果子就可以彼此相愛，去給果子，讓我們出去，給出去，我們就會彼此相愛！

How?

Thanks the Lord loves me and giving me the grace to know Jesus is the Lord! So we have to love each other.
