What does John 15:9-10 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Jesus proceeded to explain that obedience is the key to abiding (cf. John 12:27-2879). The relationship between the Father and the Son is again the paradigm for the relationship between the Son and the believer. The idea is not that we can withdraw from the circle of God"s love by being disobedient. God does not stop loving His disobedient children (cf. Luke 15:11-24). It is rather that we can withdraw from the enjoyment and blessings of His love. John stressed Jesus" obedience to His Father in this Gospel ( John 4:34; John 5:19; John 6:38; John 8:29; John 8:55; John 10:17-18; 1713244225_1; John 14:31). Now Jesus called His disciples to follow His example.
