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. If a man - Not only my present disciples, but all those who shall believe on me through their word, or that of their successors:
Love me - Receive me as his Savior, and get the love of God shed abroad in his heart by the Holy Ghost:
He will keep my words - Observe all my sayings, and have his affections and conduct regulated by my Spirit and doctrine:
My Father will love him - Call him his child; support, defend, and preserve him as such.
And we will come unto him - God the Father, through his Son, will continue to pour out his choicest blessings upon his head and upon his heart:
And make our abode with him - Will make his heart our temple, where God, the Father, Son, and Spirit, shall rest, receive homage, and dwell to eternity. Thus will I manifest myself to the believing, loving, obedient disciple, and not to the world, who will not receive the Spirit of the truth.
