Must I Love Jesus to be Saved?

BibleLine

Our Listener asks, "Hello, I’d like to thank you for your quick

response to my previous question. However,

now I have a question regarding another

verse. It might seem a bit nitpicky, or overly

critical in a sense, and I apologize if that’s the

case, but in John 8:42 where Christ states, ‘Jesus

said unto them, If God were your Father, ye

would love me: for I proceeded forth and

came from God; neither came I of myself, but

he sent me.’ The issue I see with this verse is the use of

the word ‘love.’ Does the word ‘love’ here just

refer to believers receiving Jesus as their

Messiah, in stark contrast to the intense

hatred of the Pharisees who rejected and

wanted to kill him, or does it imply something beyond mere

belief, or some level of obedience considering

how Jesus equates loving him to keeping

his commandments later in John’s gospel.

Do all believers necessarily ‘love’ Jesus after

having believed on him?”
