John 14:23

The end of verse 18 gives the reason for leading captivity captive and giving gifts: It is so the LORD God might dwell there. Christ did this so that He and the Father would have a dwelling place. He liberates from Satan and from sin so He can dwell in the former captives. This is what Christ talked about during the Passover before His crucifixion. He said, “We [meaning, the Father and the Son] will come to him and make Our home with him,” referring to the one who loves the King and keeps His word (John 14:23). He had to ascend victorious—which He did—and show the foes conquered, which we will also see, and then He would give gifts so He and Father would have a place to dwell.

John 14:23

That is so plain. That is how we demonstrate love to God - to submit to Him through His commands.

He is just rearranging the words here. And really He means all of His words. Not just a couple. Not just a few.

What we have just read there is the whole meaning of life for a Christian. If we are loving Christ, we will be keeping His commandments, and they are from the Father.

I think that we understand that there is a pseudo-Christianity out there - which uses the name of Jesus Christ, but refuses to do His will.

John 14:23-24

There is nothing hard about that—to know, to understand. Do you love God? You can demonstrate that love by just doing what He says. There is nothing hard about that. It might be hard to do, but it is not hard to understand.

John 14:23

So, it would not just be Jesus Christ dwelling within the disciples, but both the Father and the Son will make Their home with those who love Christ and keep His word.
