He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

I have learned the following: That I have to continue to love the Lord with everything that I have. Everytime that I am hungry or thirsty the Lord has provided food for me to eat and the drink for when I thirsted. Also I learned that if I take food to a home or clothes to an individual, and visit the sick, Jesus reminds me, I have done it for Him.
The most important commandment is that again, we should love God with everything we have. Also, if I continue to love everyone that I come in contact with, (even my enemies) I shall expect nothing in return. I have to be kind, to the ungrateful and the evil and have mercy. For Jesus is merciful.
Again, I have to love one another as Christ loves, by me loving as Christ loves, I am showing to the world I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I will continue to be loved by God if I keep his commandments.
Jesus will continue to love me inspite of my wrong doings. He will continue to show His love toward me, if I abide in Him. Jesus loves me so much, that He took my place on Calvary. He laid down His own life for me.
Also being His child, Jesus will give me enough love to love another. I do not owe anyone anything except the love of God, for God came to fulfill the law and has fulfilled the law.
I love God so therefore, if I love God, I will want to tell others about His love. God loves me in return and I am known by God.
Everything that I do has to be done in love. I am to love others as I love myself and love God. If I stay in the will of God, he will direct my heart to the Love of God and steadfastness of Christ. If I continue to abide in the light (Jesus Christ) and God I shall not stumble.
If I continue to abide in Jesus and believe in the name of his Son I will continue to love others and if I continue to keep His commandments, I will abide in Him and Christ in me.
I believe that Jesus is the Christ and has been born of God and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of Him, by this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.
For this is the love of God, that we should keep His commandments.

"In Whom We Have"
Ephesians 1:7-In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Hebrews 9:26-For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
1 Timothy 2:5-For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Hebrews 4:15-For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
1 John 2:1-My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
Ephesians 1:7-In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Romans 5:1-5-1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:2-By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
In this study or teaching Jesus had to remind us His children that He was the sacrifice for our sin. He also reminds us that He is the Mediator. We have to go through Jesus to get to the Father. The Father reminds us that we have a High Preist, and the High Preist being Jesus Christ, because, Jesus Christ can not be touched with our inferminites, but we (the children of God) can go to Jesus with our problems.
The children of God also have access to the Father, for when our earthly father can not help us with our problems, we can pray to our Heavenly Father for help. The reason, why the children of God have access to the Father is because, Jesus his Son, has redeemed us and forgave us of our every sin.
When we go to the Lord in prayer and the devil says "Yes, you have "sinned", Jesus reminds the devil, that we have been "forgiven" of that sin and we are now justified through Jesus Christ. Then Jesus Christ renews our faith to keep going.
The child of God has access by faith into the grace of God in which the child of God stands and rejoices in the hope of the glory of God.
