📖 The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him. [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.]
Judas, not Iscariot, asked Him, Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself [make Yourself real] to us and not to the world?
Jesus answered, If a person [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey My teaching]; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.
Anyone who does not [really] love Me does not observe and obey My teaching. And the teaching which you hear and heed is not Mine, but [comes] from the Father Who sent Me.
—John 14:21-24 AMPC
Would you like to experience more manifestations of the Father in your life? Jesus said that the person who has His commands and keeps them, that person will be loved by the Father and Jesus will make Himself real to that individual. God loves all His children, but Jesus says that the person who keeps His Word, He and the Father will make their home in that person. When Jesus and the Father make their home in you, your life will not remain the same. Hebrews 11:6 tells us that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. One way we seek the Lord is by meditating and reading His Word. As we are meditating and reading, it brings God on the scene. When God comes on the scene, everything gets better. James 1:25 tells us that “he who looks into the perfect law of liberty (the Word of God) and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does”. If one wants to experience more of God, one must be a doer of His Word.
