John 14:23 Devotional

We can say all day that we love Jesus, but if we are not obeying the Bible, then we are liars. We can talk all we want, but if our walk doesn't match, then it doesn't matter what we say. The next time we are tempted to disobey or question obedience, we need to remind ourselves of this verse! Our obedience not only brings God's love but also God the Father and Jesus the Son's presence - and abiding presence at that! But the opposite is also true: if we don't love God, we will not keep His Word and we will not have the Father and Son's abiding fellowship.
