Main points to ponder
An if/then statement is a logical statement that expresses a conditional relationship between two parts: the “if” clause and the “then” clause. It’s a way of describing a cause-and-effect relationship or a condition and its consequence. Consider some of the if/then statements the Savior uses in this week’s reading:
- “If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also” (John 14:7)
- “If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” (John 7:14)
- “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14:15)
- “If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father.” (John 14:28)
- “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” (John 15:7)
- “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.” (John 15:10)
- “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” (John 15:14)
What can these statements teach us about our relationship with Christ? What do they teach us about his love?
