Our Listener asks, "Hello, I’d like to thank you for your quick
response to my previous question. However,
now I have a question regarding another
verse. It might seem a bit nitpicky, or overly
critical in a sense, and I apologize if that’s the
case, but in John 8:42 where Christ states, ‘Jesus
said unto them, If God were your Father, ye
would love me: for I proceeded forth and
came from God; neither came I of myself, but
he sent me.’ The issue I see with this verse is the use of
the word ‘love.’ Does the word ‘love’ here just
refer to believers receiving Jesus as their
Messiah, in stark contrast to the intense
hatred of the Pharisees who rejected and
wanted to kill him, or does it imply something beyond mere
belief, or some level of obedience considering
how Jesus equates loving him to keeping
his commandments later in John’s gospel.
Do all believers necessarily ‘love’ Jesus after
having believed on him?”
