<p>14:24 <i>He that does not love me, does not keep my words; and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me</i>- The words which are to be kept, as noted on :15, refer to the singular commandment to love each other (13:34; 15:12; 1 Jn. 4:21; 5:2). If we do not love the Lord, we will not love our brethren. And that word, of radical love, is the word of the Father. He is love, in that sense. This interpretation is confirmed by John's later interpretation of these words in 1 Jn. 4:16: &quot;And we know and have believed the love which God has toward us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him&quot;. See on :31, where again, keeping God's commandment meant simply loving Him, unto death on the cross for His people.</p>
