-John 14:23

We've all heard the old saying, "actions speak louder than words." This means that if what you do contradicts what you say, then chances are what you say isn't true. That's what Jesus is telling us here in John 14: if you claim to love God, then your actions will fall in line with His will.

"Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;"

Loving God is much more than just an outward performance; it is an inward condition of the heart. And not only that, but it is a necessary condition of the heart. In order to please the Lord, we must love Him with all that we have.

"And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind..."

Given enough time and opportunities, your feet will eventually catch up with your heart. That is why we have to love God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength; if we don't, it won't be long before our actions start to show it. But the opposite is also true, for as Paul says, "...if any man love God, the same is known of Him." (I Corinthians 8:3) If we love God as Jesus tells us to in Luke 10:27, then everybody we come in contact with will be able to tell.
