Today's Bible Reading--John 15:9-17

9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in My love. 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. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. 12 "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, He may give it to you. 17 This I command you, to love one another.
