1. Jesus already told his disciples to love each other (John 13:34-35). How does his instruction in verse 12 raise the standard of our love?
It raises the standard because Jesus tell His disciples to love each other as He has loved them, that is sacrificially (v. 13).
2. What are the requirements and benefits of friendship with Jesus (vv. 14-17)?
The requirements are obedience to His Word and love for each other. The benefits are a relationship with Christ and His empowerment to bear fruit for Him.
3. Is being a friend of Jesus the same as being a believer in Jesus? Explain.
There are people who "believe" in Jesus, yet have never accepted Him as their Savior. These people are not friends of God. True faith in Christ requires obedience to His Word (one way of salvation, living holy, etc.), and those who choose to obey are friends of God.
