John 15:10
If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

Application: 

Jesus told his disciples, Remain in my love (15:9). How do we do that? Jesus said, If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love. Love for Jesus results in obedience. And obedience produces a deeper relationship with Him. The Son wants us to enjoy the intimate kind of loving relationship that He enjoys with the Father (15:10).

15:11 Jesus’s goal in teaching his disciples was that their joy would be complete. Joy is internal stability despite external circumstances because of the knowledge that God is in control. It is a settled assurance and quiet confidence in God’s sovereignty that lead to the decision to praise Him. Notice that Jesus offered them his own joy. So, if your joy tank is empty, Jesus will let you borrow some of his.

15:15 Jesus told his disciples that they were not just servants to him; they were his friends. A master doesn’t reveal things to a servant, but friends do. Jesus had made known to his disciples everything he had heard from his Father.
