April 13, 2026 

John 14-Part 6 

If ye love Me, keep My commandments. (John 14:15)

LET IT GLOW 

Love is not sentimental emotionalism; it is obedience to the commandments of God. (Falwell)

Jesus summed up how we as Christian believers are live our life.

What are the commandments of God? I found 38 listed commands Jesus gave for all His followers. (It is found in the website: jesusfilm.org.) They are taken from the Gospel of Matthew:

1. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near. (Matt. 4:17)
2. Come and follow Me (4:19)
3. Rejoice when you're persecuted in My name (5:11-12)
4. Let your light shine before all people (5:16)
5. Be reconciled to one another (5:23-24)
6. Take sin very seriously (5:29-30)
7. Keep your word (5:39)
8. Turn the other cheek (5:40-42)
9. Go above and beyond (5:40-42)
10. Love your enemies (5:48)
11. Be perfect as you heavenly Father is perfect. (5:48)
12. Focus on spiritual disciples for the right reasons (6:1-18)
13. Put your efforts in the right place (6:19-21)

LET IT GROW 

Shall we take a look at e action verbs found in the first 16 instructions:

Repent, follow, rejoice, shine. reconcile keep, turn, go, love, be perfect, focus, effort.

It would be good to take some time and let the Holy spirit speak to us concerning those teachings of our Savior. Which ones do you need to work on right now? We will continue with the rest for the next two days.

LET IT GO

Jesus, only You are perfect. Work on and in our hearts so we can be more like you.
