1 John 2
As with the first chapter in his letter John is very black and white in his comments. If you know God you will obey him, if you do not obey him you do not know him! Are you claiming to be a believer - then walk as Jesus did. Tough and challenging words!
So how do we respond to this? Well we can give up or we can cry out to God for mercy and ask him to give us the grace and desire to change and be more Christ like. Living the Christian faith out day to day is not easy, it's challenging. Loving those who annoy us is difficult.
John encourages us to continue in him so that when Christ appears we may be confident and unashamed. Let's make this our goal each day.
