As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye [remain] in my love. If ye
keep [obey WU] my commandments, ye shall abide [remain] in my love; even [just WU] as I
have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto
you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full [complete WU]. This
is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man
than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do
whatsoever I command you. Jh 15:9-14

If ye love me, keep [you will obey WU] my commandments. And I will pray [to] the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter [Counselor], that he may abide [be] with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. At [in] that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth [obeys WU] them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of [by] my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest [reveal] myself to him. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep [obey WU] my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode [home] with him. He that loveth me not keepeth [obeys WU] not my sayings [words]: and the word which ye hear is not mine [own WU], but the Father's which sent me. Jh 14:15-24 It takes a while to learn to apply the principles, it takes a lot of daily perseverance and help from God, but you’ll get there because God has created victory for you.
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on [in] him, If ye continue [to follow WU] in my word [teaching WU], then are ye [really WU] my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Jh 8:31-32 Living by God's principles and in His Spirit is the way you learn the truth and become free.
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin [destruction WU] of that house was great [complete WU]. Lk 6:46-49 If you don’t obey Jesus you're just kidding yourself; you will be destroyed.
And it came to pass, as he [Jesus WU] spake these things, a certain woman of the company [crowd WU] lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare [bore] thee, and the paps [breasts] which thou hast sucked [nursed you]. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep [obey WU] it. Lk 11:27-28 Blessed are those who keep God's word, not those who are close to those who do.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of [from] thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore [therefore,] by their fruits ye shall know them. Mat 7:15-20 You can recognize what people are by their fruit.
But wisdom is justified of [by] her children [deeds WU]. Mat 11:19 If you're wise, your deeds will show it.
