God Thinking VII - Does God Rely On You? 10

"9.  As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

 10.  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.
 11.  These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

 12.  This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
 13.  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
 14.  Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

I can understand the unbelieving world to have a real problem with this statement, but Christians claim to have trouble with it.  Who do we think we are, the clay saying to the potter, “Why hast thou made me thus?”  Romans 9:20
