John 15:10
8 This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples.
9 As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love.
If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.
11 I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
