Many times I have heard people tell strangers "Jesus loves you."
I accepted the statement without really checking it out. It turns out that whereas the Father loves the whole world, the love of Jesus comes with an "if".
“Jesus answered and said to him, If a man loves me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. (Jn.14:23)
“If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love.” (John 15:10)
“He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” (Jn.14:21)
So Jesus only loves you If you obey his teachings and love him.
