John 14:23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
What other scriptures say that God will come to man?
Genesis 3:8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
God came to Adam and Eve before the fall. They did not have to seek God, He came looking for them every day. Place these scriptures in context and we can see that if anyone loves Jesus and keeps His Word, God will again come to man and restore the relationship they had before the fall.
So how do we fall in love with Jesus?
Ephesians 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,
You cannot love someone you do not know.
1 Corinthians 2:2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
1 Corinthians 2:11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
To know Him we must hear from the Spirit of God. How can we hear Him?
John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,
John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
John 15:26 But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.
So to hear the “good news” we need more information about what it takes to get Jesus to send us the Holy Spirit. Nothing is as simple as just hearing there is good news.
Colossians 1:27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
