John15:10
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love , even as I have kept my Fathers commandments, and abide in his love n.
Abiding in Christs love in this verse, may be interpreted as before, either actively; you shall continue your love to me according to what we had, Chap 14.15. Obedience to the commandments of Christ, being the onely way to shew and declare the truth of our love to Christ. Or else passively, you shall keep your selves in my favour, I will love you:
Thus I abide in my Fathers love; I do not shew love to my Father by my words and expressions onely, nor by performance of some ceremonial ritual services, which he hath required; but by fulfilling his whole Will and Counsel, by yeilding an Obedience to him in all things. I love you as my Father loveth me: and you must abide in my love, by the same ways and means that I abide in my Fathers love The Disciple is not above his Master, nor the Servant above his Lord.
