John gave them a new command but an old one.
Old command is the message you have heard.
New command: it is truth is seen in him and you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.
Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing i him to make him stumble. But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.
Dear children, your sins have been forgiven on account of his name. You have known him who is from the beginning, you have overcome the evil one.
Why?
Second test is love.
The 'new commandment' Jesus gave hi disciples - John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Jesus loves us before we love him, when we believed in him our sins have been forgiven on account of his name, this is the Love from Him.
We have know him for we have read his words, we overcome the evil one rely on Jesus Christ when we made decision to believe in Him.
The action of we are walking in light is we love our brother. It is the feedback for receiving love.
How?
Dear Lord forgive my selfish, I need to love my brother more, don't stand aside, I am a sinner same as others, help my brother and love him with the love of Christ,
