Commands of Christ: 88
Remain in Me and in My love so you can keep My commands and vice versa.
In regard to God, love and obedience are inseparable. Love is demonstrated by grateful obedience and obedience is enabled by our grateful love. We remain in God through our obedience because it is the expression of His presence. The same can be said of our love. His presence with us and His living in us are demonstrated by our loving obedience. He is literally living His life and will through us if we are His. The more clearly we hear Him and the more fully we discern His action in our lives, the more fully we can live out this obedient love. This is how we grow in Him and bear fruit by and for and to Him.

About this Plan
Our lives should be characterized by what Jesus commanded and as His followers we should be getting others to love (and thus obey) Him as well. This is not optional or for extra credit. It is the very essence of what it means to be His follower. "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..." This is what Kingdom Living is all about.
