John 15:9

God's loveFollowing JesusThe Trinity

7 If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

8 This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples.

As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love.

10 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.
