John 15:14 – “You are my friends if you do what I command you.”
Jesus’ emphasis on doing what He commands is unmistakable in John 14-16. Jesus’ commands are authoritative and binding on all people. However, it is those who obey His commands who are called His friends. Who of us can claim to be His friend? Who of us can claim to do what He commands? Verses like this should cause us to flee to the Cross, where our lack of obedience was atoned for and our present obedience was purchased.
