John 14:23
Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

Application: 

In John 14:21-25, Jesus explained that love is the motivation for keeping his commands (see 14:15). If you want to know whether someone really loves Jesus, watch to see whether he does what Jesus said. When you are connected to the love of the Father and Son in obedience, Jesus promises to reveal more of himself to you.

If you listen to a radio station in your car, you know that the further you get from the broadcast station, the worse your reception of the signal gets. Many people have difficulty connecting with God because they’ve wandered too far away to pick up his signal. But if you come back home in obedience, relating to God through Christ in love, he will disclose more of himself to you.

Judas (not Iscariot) wanted to know why he promised to reveal himself to them but not to the world (14:22; see 14:21). But Jesus insisted that his love is available to all: If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. And those willing to come to Jesus in love and obedience will find the Father and Son coming to make their home with them (14:23). It’s the one who doesn’t love Jesus or his words who will lose out on a relationship with him (14:24).
