John 14:21

John 14:21

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Receiving and keeping Jesus’ commands shows love for him; it does not purchase the Father’s or Son’s love. Safe boundaries remain valid.

Memory phrase: Love and obedience

Talk about it: Why is obedience a response to love, not its price?

Prayer: Jesus, help me listen carefully to your words.
