JOHN’S HEART – Only gospel to record this Command

COMMANDED
John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

1 John 3:23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.

FOUNDATIONAL
1 John 3:11 This is the message you heard from the beginning. We should love one another.

EVIDENCE
1 John 4:7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

RESPONSIVE
1 John 4:11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one
another.

COMPLETING
1 John 4:12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

A WITNESS
John 13:35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

HOW SHOULD WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER

We return to the verse where we started…

John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

We are to love one another in the same way Jesus loved us

How did Jesus love us?

1 John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? 18 Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. 19This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence 20whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

    I find myself coming back to these notes; especially when I don’t realize it, but need the reminder because things are a little rough.
    There are times when loving one another is more difficult than other times. It’s easy to love those who love you, but when you encounter someone who doesn’t know the love of God for them it’s a much greater challenge. The easy thing to do is to shake it off and walk away. But that’s not the right thing to do.
    There are at least 10 items in the first list that are difficult to put into practice with some people. It takes effort, and reminders, to live a life in harmony with those commands. The phrase ‘one another’ includes everyone, believer and non-believer alike. Reading these notes over and over helps me to keep my focus on what is right and off of what is easy.
