John 14:15-21
15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth.
Meditation
We are in agreement to be decent and in order and the agreement says no longer do we do it our own way.
Here we see how we are blessed from being in order. The steps are we prove we love him by keeping the commands, he sees our faith in action and as a result asks the Father to send us our help, and not for a moment, but forever.
We are the disciples of this present time and we need the Spirit of truth in our lives in order to be able to go, make, baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything.
This is what we have been saved for this is the reason for the covenant. We are empowered by the assurances of the covenant and the Spirit of the living God to make other disciples for the Kingdom of God.
There is a task at hand and whenever a task is assigned someone is held accountable. We are accountable for more than ourselves because we are members of the body of Christ and as such we are supposed to be about our Father’s business. The purpose of the task never changes only the approach.
Self admonition applied with a Spirit of truth does the believer good. It enables us to ask the question “Self, do we love him?” and receive an honest answer.
