And will reveal Myself to him….

[Not me]

John 14:21 (NASB20)
“The one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will reveal Myself to him.”

     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The connecting of these two thoughts is almost scary because it is so vivid…

The keeping of Christ’s commandments, to Christ revealing of Himself…

The profoundness of this statement, but even the more, the promise there is in this statement… Which is the putting forth the way forward of one’s relationship with Christ..… Meaning, that to the degree one’s heart wants to have a relationship with Christ, to that degree can that heart have a relationship with Christ… The keeping of Christ’s commandments being the doorkeeper…

So than how can one keep Christ’s  commandments on a moment by moment basis? 

When I was younger I would scream and cry to God about why He would not fix me… Me, being the disaster that I was, I knew how wrong the motivations of my heart were, I knew how wrong my reasonings were, how much I didn’t know or understand, I longed to have a good heart, but could not make myself.. I would do so so for a time and be able to control my judgments, but would always fail sooner or later.. Henceforth would I cry, God why won’t you fix me? … Not knowing He couldn’t fix the old creation, it had to be put to death to stop its workings..

So therefore, because my salvation i.e. (fixing me) was His highest priority, He did one so much the better……

He therefore killed me, meaning, that He showed me that when Christ died on the cross, He put me to death with Him, which, as with all deaths, frees that one from their life… Therefore to the degree I have faith or reckon into this truth, am I freed from all my failing judgments to be pleasing to God… He showed me He brought to birth a new creation in me, which creation grows by the faith of my heart turned towards Him.. In this new birth is the obedience to Him found, so that the law might be fulfilled in me, but not by me… So with a constant looking off to Him to grow this new life in me, which fruit is the manifestation of righteousness in my doings, do I look to Him…

For He taught me to the degree I reckon myself dead to sin and alive unto Him, to that degree will I walk in all the light I understand…. So with a constant heart to see into the commandments the deeper, that I might walk in the light of righteousness the more, do I look to Him…

Faith and faith in God alone is the requirement, a constant looking off to Him in all things…  For I have died and my life is hid with Christ in God.. That I might by experience experience this truth the deeper.. 

Be blessed in your relationship with our Savior, Not me

“The one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will reveal Myself to him.”

Joh 14:21  Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 
22  Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 
23  Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.  [ESV]

These verses are referring to the promise of the Holy Spirit that would be given to believers of the gospel. Preceding your cited verses Jesus taught this:

John 14:15  “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 
16  And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 
17  even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. 
18  “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 

verses 17 and 22 are directly connected.

Only through the indwelling Holy Spirit and by praying in the Spirit.

What Y'shua (Jesus) said goes right along with what he said in the beginning, "if you love me keep my commandments."

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations, - Deu 7:9 ESV

God equates love with action/obedience not some fuzzy emotion or some cheap lip serve, but obedience to his commandments. 

Listen to what Apostle John said:

 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. - 1Jo 5:3 ESV
And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it. - 2Jo 1:6 ESV

Also in another passage he said its by our obedience that confirms if we know him or not.

And by this we know that we have come to know him, IF we keep his commandments. Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, - 1Jo 2:3-4 ESV

People who go around saying, "Yes I know God, he knows my heart" but live in willful disobedience to his  commandments are liars and the truth "Y'shua" is not in them.

Thank you for sharing out of your treasures, and may His revealing be ever so great…
