As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. [You hear the grace in this.] 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. [You hear the demand following right after. And then you hear the consequence.] These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. (John 15:9–11)
