John 15:9 | When Ministry Replaced the Love That Started It

Formation to Transformation | A Worship Devotional · Apr 22, 2026 · 3m

Jesus says the love he has for you is patterned on the love the Father has for him. Same love. Same quality. Same kind. And then he says remain in it.

You can know Jesus loves you theologically and still live as though you have to earn it. Remaining in love is different from believing love exists. It is a daily decision to stay in the reality of what is already true.

This episode marks the pivot in John 15 from vine language to love language, and it might be the deepest invitation in the whole chapter.
