“I Will”

Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” – John 14:21

What is the measure of your love for God? Do you have His commandments in your heart and a compelling desire to keep them – to be holy?

I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; We are the temple of the living God; as God said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people; As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” – Jeremiah 31:33; 2 Corinthians 6:16; 1 Peter 1:14-16

The Truth of God’s Word encourages those who abide in His love with numerous ‘I Will’ promises.

If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love; As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love; If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. – John 15:10,9,7
