1 John 2:7-11 - The Not-So-New Commandment

John writes in his epistle of a commandment which is not new, but on the other hand is new. It is as old as law itself and yet at the same time it is new. That law is love.

In this bible study we dig into these five verses and find more than just a reminder that we are supposed to love each other. What we find is a biblical theology. What we find is an explanation of what is wrong with the world, along with the good news of what Christ has done to make it right again.



Here’s an excerpt:

“And just as today, the dominant characteristics of the world are sin, darkness, and hate, so one day soon this will be a world completely flooded by obedience, light, and love. And Jesus was the invasion of all three. This is why the world hated him and rejected him. And this is why he will conquer.”

We live in a world ruled by hatred and we have been called out of it by love, and that is why love is to manifest itself in all our relationships in this world now. We live in the light and we are to walk as children of light.
