Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 24. - We have three statements about love and obedience: (1) Love involves obedience (Vers. 15, 23), or obedience naturally is included in love; (2) obedience (having and keeping commandments) is the great proof of love (Ver. 21); and (3) (Ver. 24) "he that loveth not," i.e. the absence or negation of love seems necessarily to forbid or discountenance obedience - the language differs slightly. He that loveth me not keepeth not my words - i.e. the various utterances into which my one Word may be subdivided in detail - and the λόγος, the one all-revealing Word, out of which all the λόγοι proceed, is not mine (as self-originated), but is the Father's that sent me. Without love to Christ the world has none of the conditions on which the self-manifestation of Christ really depends.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(24) He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings.--He has shown in the previous verse how the Father and the Son can take up their abode in the hearts of the believers. He now shows how they could not be manifested to the hearts of the world. He that loveth not Christ keepeth not His word, and that word is the Father's. He has rejected the love of God which is revealed in the Son, and has Himself closed the channels of communion with God. God cannot dwell with him because there is in him nothing which can be receptive of the Divine Presence.
