John 15:9 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 15:9

The Son’s love for disciples reflects the Father’s love for the Son. Remaining in love means living within a relationship already given, not earning affection.

Memory phrase: Remain in Jesus’ love

Talk about it: What might remaining in Jesus’ love look like?

Prayer: Jesus, help me rest in your love.
