This then becomes the acid test for biblical love for the believer. Does man keep Christ's commandments. It makes little difference how much we demonstrate love towards a fellow brother if we abide not in the truth. It is about obedience to the truth and not an eros or philia experience. However, obedience without love is theoretically possible, but love without obedience is, in practice, impossible.
Love then becomes the teacher of truth.
He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. Peter was to express his love toward Jesus by feeding His sheep. Therefore Peter's love can be seen in his commitment to the people of God in such a way that love was a product of obedience.
