Love and Obedience John 14:15 Excerpt The uncompromising connection between love for Christ and obedience to Christ repeatedly recurs in John’s writings ( cf . vv .  21 ,  23 ;  15:14 ). The linkage approaches the level of definition: ‘This is love for God: to obey his commands’ ( 1 Jn. 5:3 ). But what are his ‘commands’? The parallels that tie together ‘what I command’ ( v .  15 , lit . ‘my commands’ ), ‘commands’ ( v .  21 ), and ‘my teaching’ ( lit . ‘my word’ in v .  23 , and ‘my words’ in v .  24 ) suggest to some that more is at stake than Jesus’ ethical  commands . What the one who loves Jesus will observe is not simply an array of discrete ethical injunctions, but the entire revelation from the Father, revelation holistically conceived ( cf .  3:31–32 ;  12:47–49 ;  17:6 ).  More Carson, D.
