Obedience to Love is the bridge to the pentecostal experience (Kerigmatic experience).
No love, no Pentecost.
Love brings a stronger rapport with the Father in Heaven.
The Holy Spirit will remain in us despite of everything.
He is the only one who can teaches what is right and wrong.
He alone can help to change and to be better.
He knows how to wait the personal growth and maturity.
The Holy Spirit is the spirit of Truth that will make realize the unity between the Father and Jesus.
Such knowledge gives a new attitude of faith, gives the strength to the Christians to be happier and courageous despite of all the odds and hostilities.
Keeping the commandments of Jesus is not a juridical matter, but a friendly agreement.

From the Gospel according to John
JN 14:15-21
Jesus said to his disciples:
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
And I will ask the Father,
and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always,
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept,
because it neither sees nor knows him.
But you know him, because he remains with you,
and will be in you.
I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
In a little while the world will no longer see me,
but you will see me, because I live and you will live.
On that day you will realize that I am in my Father
and you are in me and I in you.
Whoever has my commandments and observes them
is the one who loves me.
And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”
