IT IS HE WHO LOVES ME
Yoḥanan (John) 14:21 “He who possesses My commands and guards them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest Myself to him.”
In John 14:21 we see Yeshua saying that "he that keeps my commands and guards them (does them) LOVES me and he who does so is LOVED by His Father", we see in the Torah Deḇarim (Deuteronomy) chapter 18 the commands that were given to Yeshua to speak to us are given to Yeshua by His Father Yahovah, they are Yahovah’s instructions for HIs people in exile the Children of Yisrael the people of Yahovah, the words are for the people so they turn back to the Father for the Kingdom of Elohim (God) is at hand see below in the book of Mark
Marqos (Mark) 1:14 And after Yoḥanan was delivered up, יהושע (Yeshua/Jesus) came to Galil, proclaiming the Good News (Gospel) of the reign of Elohim, 15 and saying, “The time has been filled, and the reign of Elohim has come near. Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
That is the good news or the Gospel that we can repent turn back to Yahovah’s ways being obedient to His Son Yeshua and being under His grace or favor.
Yoḥanan (John) 3:36 He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Elohim (God) remains on him.
So we see in the scripture above that belief is to be obedient to His ways that is how we possess everlasting life to obey the Son Yeshua.
We see in the scripture's below He's says 7 times they are not His words or instructions of Him (Yeshua/Jesus) but of His Father, why then do the Pastors say we don't have to walk out the Torah or keep the commands or do the instructions that were given to the Son (Yeshua/Jesus) by the Father, for the Torah is TRUTH (psalms 119:142) and our savior (Yeshua/Jesus) did walk as His Father asked and then He Yeshua told us to do the same as He walked out the Torah for He said "Follow Me" and He is the word or Torah in the Flesh.
Yoḥanan (John) 1:14 And the Word became flesh and pitched His tent among us, and we saw His esteem, esteem as of an only brought-forth of a Father, complete in favour (grace) and truth.
In Deuteronomy the Yahovah tells Moses that He will raise up a prophet that is the Messiah (Yeshua /Jesus) and Yeshua is the one who pitched Hs tent among us that we see this in John 1:14
Deḇarim (Deuteronomy) 18:18 I shall raise up for them a Prophet like you out of the midst of their brothers. And I shall put My Words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. 19 And it shall be, the man who does not listen to My Words which He speaks in My Name, I require it of him.
This is confirmed that Yeshua fulfilled this prophecy see below in Acts 3:22-26; Acts 7:37; John 3:36
Ma`asei (Acts) 3:19-23 “Repent therefore and turn back, for the blotting out of your sins, in order that times of refreshing might come from the presence of the Master, 20 and that He sends יהושע (Yeshua) Messiah, pre-appointed for you, 21 whom heaven needs to receive until the times of restoration of all matters, of which Elohim spoke through the mouth of all His set-apart prophets since of old. 22 “For Mosheh truly said to the fathers, ‘יהוה (Yahovah) your Elohim (God) shall raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brothers. Him (Yeshua) you shall hear according to all matters, whatever He (Yeshua) says to you. 23 ‘And it shall be that every being who does not hear that Prophet (Yeshua) shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’
Ma`asei (Acts) 7:37 “This is the Mosheh who said to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘יהוה your Elohim shall raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brothers. Him you shall hear.’
So the Prophet that Yahovah sends to speak to His people in Deuteronomy 18:18 and then confirmed in Acts chapter 3 and chapter 7 it is he we are to listen to HIs words by way of Yeshua “He (Yeshua) shall speak to them all that I (Yahovah) command Him” we are to listen to that Prophet (Yeshua) and do as He (Yeshua) speaks, if we do then we believe and show are love to Yahovah our Elohim (God)
Yoḥanan (John) 3:34 “For He whom Elohim (God) has sent speaks the Words of Elohim (God), for Elohim (God) does not give the Spirit by measure. 35 “The Father (Yahovah) loves the Son (Yeshua), and has given all into His (Yeshua’s) hand. 36 He who believes in the Son (Yeshua) possesses everlasting life, but he who does not obey the Son (Yeshua) shall not see life, but the wrath of Elohim (God) remains on him.
Yoḥanan (John) 14:21 “He who possesses My commands and guards them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest Myself to him.”
Below we see in the scripture's He Yeshua (Jesus) says 7 times they are not His words or instructions of Him (Yeshua or Jesus) but of His Father, this matches the Deuteronomy 18:18 Prophet we are to listen to.
#1. Yoḥanan (John) 7:16 יהושע (Yeshua/Jesus) answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 If anyone desires to do His desire (will), he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is from Elohim, or whether I speak from Myself.
Note in the above scripture to do HIs will or HIs desire is mentioned in Psalms
Tehillim (Psalms) 37:8 I have delighted to do Your pleasure, O my Elohim, And Your Torah is within my heart.”
#2. Yoḥanan (John) 8:28 So יהושע (Yeshua/Jesus) said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Aḏam, then you shall know that I am He, and that I do none at all of Myself, but as My Father taught Me, these words I speak.
#3. Yoḥanan (John) 8:40 “But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has spoken to you the truth which I heard from Elohim. Aḇraham did not do this.
WHAT IS TRUTH ASK YOURSELF? Truth is what the Prophet Yeshua speaks, He speaks the Truth or the Torah (or instructions) according to scriptures interpretation. and He is truth John 14:6 He even tells us He is Truth or the Torah the word made flesh John 1:14
Tehillim (Psalms) 119:142 Your righteousness is righteousness forever, And Your Torah is truth.
#4. Yoḥanan (John) 12:49 “Because I spoke not from Myself, but the Father who sent Me has given Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
#5. Yoḥanan (John) 14:24 “He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father Who sent Me.
#6. Yoḥanan (John) 3:34 “For He whom Elohim has sent speaks the Words of Elohim, for Elohim does not give the Spirit by measure. 35 “The Father loves the Son, and has given all into His hand. 36 He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Elohim remains on him.
#7.Yoḥanan (John) 17:6 “I have revealed Your Name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have guarded Your Word. 7 “Now they have come to know that all You gave to Me, is from You. 8 “Because the Words which You gave to Me, I have given to them. And they have received them, and have truly known that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.
Yeshua has brought us the instructions of Yahovah His Father that was from the beginning, He has taught us what we needed to know, that is to repent turn back to the Fathers ways by HIs words or TORAH as Yeshua showed us and He walked them out He showed us the right way how to walk in righteousness (See Dueteronomy 6:24-25), this is the Fathers way's and instructions, for this He “Yeshua” was pleasing to His Father and His Father LOVED Him.
Deḇarim (Deuteronomy) 6:24 And יהוה (Yahovah) commanded us to do all these laws, to fear יהוה (Yahovah) our Elohim (God), for our good always, to keep us alive, as it is today. 25 And it is righteousness for us when we guard to do all this command before יהוה (Yahovah) our Elohim (God), as He has commanded us.’
So as Yeshua taught us the TRUTH from the Father Yahovah’s words, when He Yeshua was teaching the people the New Testament letters had not yet been written, what words do you think He was given? He was given the words from the Father from long ago, The Torah is the instructions for the Fathers people Yisrael, to teach them how to be righteous and fear and love Yahovah, and Yeshua was told to again bring these same words so that they would be brought back into covenant with the the Father Yahovah and keep His ways, for that is how Yeshua was sinless, Yeshua walked out the Torah the instructions of the Father for if He had not done what the Father instructed Him he would have been in sin.
Yoḥanan Aleph (1 John) 3:4 Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
Timotiyos Bĕt (2 Timothy) 3:14 But you, stay in what you have learned and trusted, having known from whom you have learned, 15 and that from a babe you have known the Set-apart Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for deliverance through belief in Messiah יהושע (Yeshua) 16 Scripture is breathed out by Elohim and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for setting straight, for instruction in righteousness,
Yoḥanan Aleph (1 John) 5:1 Everyone who believes that יהושע (Yeshua) is the Messiah has been born of Elohim, and everyone who loves the One bringing forth also loves the one having been born of Him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of Elohim, when we love Elohim and guard His commands. 3 For this is the love for Elohim, that we guard His commands, and His commands are not heavy,
Yoḥanan Aleph (2 John) 1:6 And this is the love, that we walk according to His commands. This is the command, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
Yoḥanan Aleph (John) 14:15 “If you love Me, you shall guard My commands.

For I, יהוה (Yahovah) your Elohim (God) am a jealous Ěl, visiting the crookedness of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,” 6 but showing loving-commitment to thousands, to those who love Me and guard My commands.
