One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
Having His commandments written on the heart by the Spirit's finger and keeping them under His grace proves true love, not mere talk. The Father's greater manifestation of His love to the obedient, and Christ's fresh tokens of affection, are explained in the next clause: He will make Himself known spiritually in ordinances and communion, granting His people to see His beauty, fullness, grace, and glory.
AI summary
Many loose professors claim to love Christ because they hear and talk of His commandments, yet Christ accounts none true lovers but those who obey them universally and perseveringly. To such obedient Christians He promises not only the fruit of His love but the sense of it, the sensible inward diffusions of His love in their own souls.
