Friendship with Jesus begins with His love for us, a subject John explained thoroughly. Jesus love for us reflects the Father's love (John 15:9). John explained what Jesus expects from us - obedience (vs 10). Obedience produces two great results in our lives - a loving relationship with Him and a deep inner joy within.
The blessing of Jesus friendship with us affects our earthly relationships. Jesus commands that we love each other just as He loves us - with a sacrificial love that reflects God's great love.
These verses show us that friendship with Jesus produces spiritual health and maturity.
