John 15:16

Christlike Love

¹⁵ No longer do I call you slaves, because the slave does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything that I have heard from my Father I have revealed to you. ¹⁶ You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and your fruit should remain, in order that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. ¹⁷ These [things] I command you: that you love one another.

Bear Fruit

Bear Much Fruit

For My Sake

Go Your Way

In My Name

It is I

My Father
