Transformation
John 15:8–10
“By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to
be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my
love. 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.“
Before Song of Songs 5:3:
“I have taken off my robe—must I put it on again? I have washed my
feet—must I soil them again?“
After John 15:8–10:
“By this my Father is glorified, that you bear
much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have
I loved you. Abide in my love. 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.”
Before Song of Songs 5:3:
“I have taken off my robe—must I put it on
again? I have washed my feet—must I soil them again?”
Oh that
we may be transformed
Draw near
to you
See what
you see
Value
what you value
Oh that
we may bear lasting fruit
By the
mere fact that we are close to you.
Abiding
The
bridegroom and his church
Synchrony
Grace
Love
