GOD’S LOVE LANGAUGE:
“If you love me, obey my commandments.” John 14:15 (NLT)

21 Those who truly love me are those who obey my commands.
Whoever passionately loves me will be passionately loved by my
Father. And I will passionately love you in return and will manifest
my life within you. 24 But those who don’t love me will not obey
my words. John 14:21, 24 (TPT)

1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God,
and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is
begotten of Him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of
God, when we love God and keep His commandments. 3 For this
is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His
commandments are not burdensome. 4 For whatever is born
of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has
overcome the world – our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes
the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:1-5 (NLT)
