This is a great chapter of encouragement, warnings and directions.
9 If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is still living in darkness. 10 Anyone who loves another brother or sister is living in the light and does not cause others to stumble.
Walk the talk!
28 And
now, dear children, remain in fellowship with Christ so that when he
returns, you will be full of courage and not shrink back from him in
shame.
29 Since we know that Christ is righteous, we also know that all who do what is right are God’s children.Remain in fellowship with Christ!
Blessings!
" Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment for you; rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. This old commandment—to love one another—is the same message you heard before. 8 Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are living it. For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining."
ReplyDeleteJesus lived this truth. Oh, how I pray I can live it more fully.
1 John 2
ReplyDelete24-25 Make sure that the message you heard from the beginning lives in you. If that message lives in you, you will also live in the Son and in the Father. Christ has given us the promise of eternal life.
27 The anointing you received from Christ lives in you. You don’t need anyone to teach you something else. Instead, Christ’s anointing teaches you about everything. His anointing is true and contains no lie. So live in Christ as he taught you to do.
