In our relationship with the Lord, love and our obedience are inextricably linked.

JOH 15:10

Jesus sets the precedent with his love for and obedience to His Father.

Love and obedience supercharge our prayer life as well.

Keeping His commandments indicates that we have come to know Him.

1JO 2:3-5

When we come to know Him, we know what to ask for in His name.

As we love Him better, we come to obey Him more completely.

When we obey Him, we abide in His love.

And when it comes to loving Jesus, taking action means obeying His commands.

JOH 14:21
JOH 15:10

What is the result of keeping His commandments? Abiding in His love.

We love Christ, so we keep His commandments.
