"Abiding in his love" is indwelling that life in a life lived for Him by doing His will. ABIDING makes a difference. He did not stay RECEIVING HIS LOVE. He loved us when we were sinners, so there is nothing we did to get that love to begin with. Jesus was speaking about REMAINING in his love by serving Him.

The simple point is that Jesus said his love for us is dependent on if we keep his commands. The poster inferred his love is NOT dependent on anything we do or dont.
As to his grace James taught us there IS something we can do to get grace. Humble ourselves.
