Abiding in Obedience, in Love 

"If ye keep My Commandments, ye shall abide in My love" (John 15:10). 

These things cannot be parted -- abiding in obedience and abiding in the love
of Jesus. A life under the rule of Christ can alone prove that we are the
objects of our LORD's delight. We must keep our LORD's command if we would bask
in His love. If we live in sin we cannot live in the love of Christ. Without
the holiness which pleases God we cannot please Jesus. He who cares nothing for
holiness knows nothing of the love of Jesus. 

Conscious enjoyment of our LORD's love is a delicate thing. It is far more
sensitive to sin and holiness than mercury is to cold and heat. When we are
tender of heart and careful in thought, lip, and life to honor our LORD Jesus,
then we receive tokens of His love without number. If we desire to perpetuate
such bliss we must perpetuate holiness. The LORD Jesus will not hide His face
from us unless we hide our face from Him. Sin makes the cloud which darkens our
Sun: if we will be watchfully obedient and completely consecrated we may walk
in the light, as God is in the light, and have as sure an abiding in the love
of Jesus as Jesus has in the love of the Father. Here is a sweet promise with a
solemn "if," LORD, let me have this "if" in my hand; for as a key it opens this
casket.
