John 15:7-12

7If you remain in Me and My words remain in you [that is, if we are vitally united and My message lives in your heart], ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you.

8My Father is glorified and honored by this, when you bear much fruit, and prove yourselves to be My [true] disciples.

9I have loved you just as the Father has loved Me; remain in My love [and do not doubt My love for you].

10If you keep My commandments and obey My teaching, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.

11I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing.

12“This is My commandment, that you love and unselfishly seek the best for one another, just as I have loved you.
