The Superior Pleasure of Obedient Love | John 15 | Session 9 | Mike Bickle

In session 9, Mike Bickle continues our verse by verse study of John 15 focusing on John 15:10-11. In John 15, Jesus connected His command to “abide in love” to walking in a spirit of obedience. He declared truths in John 15:9 that empower us to obey God (15:10) and walk-in joy (15:11). There is a dynamic connection of grasping God’s love to being empowered to obey God and to walk in joy.

"…abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love…that My joy may remain in you.” (Jn. 15:9-11)

Jesus makes it clear how His disciples are to grow in experiencing God’s love (15:10). The essential requirement in abiding or living in the power and reality of His love includes the commitment to walk in a spirit of obedience to Jesus’ teachings and leadership.
