“Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.”1 John 2:6 NLT
Here is the ‘rub’ so to speak. We cannot say we live in God but live in hate for others. We are deceiving ourselves.
John goes on to say:
“If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is still living in darkness. Anyone who loves a fellow believer is living in the light and does not cause others to stumble. But anyone who hates a fellow believer is still living and walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the way to go, having been blinded by the darkness.”
1 John 2:9-11 NLT
Love must guide our behaviour. God’s love in us should be reaching out to break down walls. It should not allow us to build walls of offence and disagreement. If there are walls of division they must be broken down. We should allow God’s Holy Spirit to rule in our hearts. He will show us the best way! Amen!
