Remain in the love of Christ

How good and wonderful when we remain in the love of our Lord Jesus, when we keep His Word and carry Him within each of our hearts, and this is regardless of the price we have to pay to carry Him everywhere.

But what must we do to remain in Him? Submit to His will, do everything that He commands us, obey Him at all times, because He is God and He is the one who sustains us at all times.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

John 15:9

Jesus said that just as the father has loved Him, He also shows His love for all humanity, because God is love, and everyone who abides in Him also has His love.

Anyone who manifests that love so real and that transforms everyone who needs Him, the love of God is so wonderful that when we see a person having a bad time we offer them that transforming love.

If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

John 15:10

Every day we must keep His Word because in He we find the truth, and who is the truth? Jesus, this is our true love, which gave Himself to die for us on the cross of Calvary, and this is called real love.

I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

John 15:11

And this is the real love that Jesus talked about to all the people around Him in that place, and that is because the love of God does not bring sorrow but in the midst of affliction gives us peace, that love will never turn away from us unless we turn away from Him. Because God is love for all eternity.

Remaining in the love of Christ is not a passive experience but a daily pursuit of His presence. When Jesus invites us to abide in His love, He is inviting us into a life of deep communion, where our thoughts, desires, and actions are shaped by His Word. Abiding means staying close to Him regardless of circumstances. It means trusting Him when we do not understand, obeying Him when obedience is costly, and loving Him when the world tries to draw our hearts away. This constant dependence on Christ produces a spiritual firmness that cannot be shaken, because the one who abides in Him stands on an unmovable foundation.

Furthermore, the call to remain in Christ’s love carries with it a profound promise: that His joy will become our joy. The world offers temporary pleasures that fade quickly, but the joy of Jesus is enduring and complete. It is a joy that strengthens the weary, comforts the broken, and sustains the soul through trials. This joy is not found in achievements or circumstances but in knowing Him, walking with Him, and obeying His Word. When we submit to His commands, we discover that God’s will is not burdensome but life-giving. His commandments lead us toward peace, purity, and spiritual maturity, shaping our hearts to reflect the heart of the Father.

True love, the love Jesus describes, is not merely an emotion—it is a transforming force that flows from God to us and then through us to others. When we abide in His love, we begin to see people the way He sees them, speak with kindness, forgive from the heart, and serve with humility. This love changes families, restores friendships, and strengthens the church. And even when we fail, His love remains constant, calling us back with mercy and patience. May we seek every day to abide more deeply in Christ, keeping His Word, reflecting His character, and allowing His love to shape everything we are. For only in Him is our joy complete, and only in Him do we find a love that never fails.
