Salmos 25

Salmos 25:14-15

Morris adds "This could be read: "If any man sincerely wants to do his will, he shall know...." Thus the first prerequisite to ascertaining God's leading in some matter, or the truth about some doctrinal question, is a genuine willingness to believe the truth and to follow God's will before they are made known, even if the answer goes against one's preference." Jn 14:21 “He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” Comment: Notice the progress "has...keeps....loved." The first prerequisite is "has My commandments" -- he reads, studies, memorizes, meditates on God's commandments. But he is a "doer" and not just a "hearer" and so enabled by the Spirit, he keeps them as his lifestyle ("keeps" is the verb tereo in the present tense) which is another way of saying he is obedient to them. No one keeps them perfectly but as we learn to rely on the Holy Spirit, He gives us the desire and the power to walk pleasing to the Lord (cf Php 2:13NLT-note). Then Jesus parallels obedience with love. If we say we love God we will obey Him. And the reward for such a walk is that Jesus will reveal (emphanizo) Himself to us. And so we see a parallel between the volitional choices of fearing the Lord in Psalm 25:14 and obeying the Lord in Jn 14:21, and the Spirit wrought fruit of these choices which is greater knowledge of God's covenant and greater initmacy with the Father and the Son.
