Pray-Read Message-Abiding in the Father's Love to Express His Image

Abiding in Love and Keeping the Lord’s Commandments
John 15:9
“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.”
Lord Jesus, I receive Your love as flowing from the Father’s love to the Son—divine, eternal, unchanging. Make me remain, continue, abide in this love, not dipping in and out according to feelings. Let the Spirit shed this love abroad in my heart until it becomes my atmosphere and my strength. Let the cross terminate unbelief that doubts Christ’s love. Make the church a love-abiding people, continuing in Christ’s love together. And build the church by love as the divine element that holds the Body, preserves oneness, and supplies fruit-bearing.
John 15:10
“If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.”
Lord Jesus, teach me the pathway of abiding in love: keeping Your commandments in living obedience. Make my obedience not legal but relational—obedience that keeps me in the enjoyment of love. Just as You kept the Father’s commandments and abode in His love, train me to follow You in this pattern. Let the Spirit make me sensitive to Your inward commandments—Your present speaking and leading. Let the cross terminate selective obedience and hidden rebellion. Make the church an obedient loving people, abiding in love by keeping the Lord’s word. And build the church by obedient love that preserves fellowship, strengthens oneness, and releases fruit.
