However, in John 14, that line is set within a conversation filled with comfort, peace, and promise. When you hear it in that light, obedience stops being a price tag for love and becomes the natural response to love already given.In this episode, we trace how Jesus connects love and action, not through pressure but through partnership with the Spirit. In the garden, he prays, “Not my will but yours,” and heaven sends strength, not shame. That same Spirit now writes God’s will on our hearts, shaping us from the inside out. No more white-knuckle striving, no more fear of failing the test, just learning to live as someone already loved.We discuss what real obedience looks like when it’s fueled by grace: loving God, loving others, forgiving freely, and trusting in the Father’s care. You’ll hear how identity anchors behavior, how peace replaces anxiety, and how desire itself begins to change when grace takes the lead.If you’re tired of performing for God’s approval, this conversation will help you breathe again. Obedience without love is bondage, but love empowered by the Spirit becomes a joyful yes.Short Summary: “If you love me, keep my commandments” isn’t a test of worth. It’s an invitation to a relationship. In this episode, we explore how love, identity, and the Spirit’s power turn rule-keeping into joyful trust and peace. Thanks for listening.
