40 aBut you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.  
41 a“I do not receive honor from men.  
42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.
43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
44 aHow can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek bthe honor that comes from the only God?  
45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; athere is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust.  
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; afor he wrote about Me.

John 5:41-42

I receive not honour ... - "I do not say these things because I am desirous of human applause, but to account for the fact that you do not believe on me. The reason is, that you have not the love of God in you." In this passage we see:

1.That we should not seek for human applause. It is of very little value, and it often keeps men from the approbation of God, John 5:44.

2.They who will not believe on Jesus Christ give evidence that they have no love for God.

3.The reason why they do not believe on him is because they have no regard for his character, wishes, or law.

Love of God - Love to God.

In you - In your hearts. You do not love God.
