2. “Has” and “Keeps” my commands = Loves Me
“If you love me, [you will] keep my commands.” (v 15, 21, 23-24, cf. 31)
Relationship: at the centre of our faith.A call, an offer of intimacy with God ! !
Doing things together
Being together
Being on the “same page”
No way to intimacy with God if we IGNORE or OFFEND Him.

2. “Has” and “Keeps” my commands = Loves Me ...
Jesus: “doing what the Father is doing” (5:19), secret of intimacy “ONLY” what the Father is doing
“Nothing” of himself.
Always on the same page
Same is true for our intimacy with God ! ! ! !
Doing things for God is NOT enough. That’s Worldly spirituality.

Do what God lays before us to do.
“Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching” (v 23)
Jesus’ teaching cannot be reduced to a “to do” list
