The One Who Loves
The biggest proof in our behavior that we are in a relationship with God, is in our love for the people around us. This is the bottom line of all obedience to God - that we love our neighbors. If we fail to obey this commandment, all other obedience is incomplete. But in loving our brothers and sisters, we fulfil the entire law of God and “have no cause for stumbling”.
If we obey the other commandments, but we do not love, we are stumbling around in our lives as if we are in darkness. When we choose to continue living in hate, we are deceived and will continue to be blind to where God wants us to move towards.
Devotional Question:
What things would I rather do than love difficult people?
About this Plan
1 John is one of the most quoted books of the Bible, and for a good reason: John understood God’s love in a special way. As we explore the pages of this book, let that be our main goal: to understand the love of God better and better, and to grow closer to Him.
