expressed is He glorified. Electricity illustrates what it means to be glorified. Electricity that is not expressed is electricity that is not glorified. Only when electricity is expressed is it glorified. The electricity in a lamp is glorified because it is ex pressed. Likewise, when the Father's divine life is expressed in the fruit-bearing of the organism of the vine and the branches, He is glorified.
Real prayers must be followed by our life and walk. Our life, walk, and activity always follow our prayers. We must act, live, and work accord ing to the way we pray. This is very profound. While the Lord abides in us He expresses Him self, His thought, His desire, and His intention to us. When we utter this in prayer and act, live, and walk according to what we pray, God is ex pressed and glorified.
TO KEEP THE SON'S COMMANDMENT
We need to keep the Son's commandments by obeying His instant words that we may abide in His love (vv. 10-11). Firstly, we abide in Him and He abides in us. Then His word will abide in us, and we shall abide in His love. We abide in Him and then we abide in His love. On the one hand, we must abide in the Lord Himself; on the other hand, we must abide in His love.
