John 14:23
“Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.”
What does John 14:23 mean?
Jesus is saying that love for him isn't just a feeling, but shows up in how we live, especially in following his teachings. When we genuinely love Jesus and try to live by what he teaches, God the Father responds by loving us deeply and drawing close to us, making his presence a real home within our lives. It's a beautiful promise that commitment to Jesus opens the door to an intimate, lasting relationship with God himself, not distant or foreign, but as close as living in the same house.
