18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ (WARNING!!) If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. 25 But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’
…ABIDE IN HIM (Commanded!)
…BEAR FRUIT (Your RESPONSIBILITY as a Follower!)
…LET HIS WORDS ABIDE IN YOU (The BIBLE!)
…LOVE HIM (Not a SUGGESTION – a COMMAND!)
…LOVE ONE ANOTHER (2nd Greatest COMMANDMENT!)
Oh yeah… If you do ALL THE ABOVE – (BTW) There is will be a PRICE involved in ABIDING WITH CHRIST! Making it ALL THE MORE Attractive –right?!
Don’t confuse EASY with being WORTH IT – though!
