Knowing Him

1 John 2:3–11 (NKJV)

John has just encouraged all souls to walk in the light of Jesus Christ. He wrote the previous passage to give all people the opportunity for salvation. Now, John moves into further traits that should be evident in the life of a believer.

3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. 8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. 10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11 But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

1 John 2:3-11

John first describes obedience as a trait of true Christians: “Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.” He goes on to state that anyone who does not keep His commandments, yet claims to know God, is in fact a liar. Those who do obey are truly perfected in the love of God. John’s contention is that those who truly know God will walk as Christ walked and live in obedience to His commands. John talks about the fact that this is not a new commandment or requirement, but instead is a long-standing commandment given from the beginning of time. Yet, John also gives a new commandment, because the darkness of the world and its evil is passing away, and the light, the true light of God, is already shining. Therefore, it is time for a new outlook that is sympathetic and congruent with the old commandment. John relies on the old commandment of love to God and obedience to His law as he points to the new commandment, also founded in love, which is to love your brother. With this second description of a Godly trait, John makes it clear that one cannot claim to know God and walk in His light if he hates his brother. Those who hate walk in darkness, for that evil attitude is not of God. Love for one’s brother–or fellow man–is a sign that one is walking in the light and will not stumble. Hate blinds the eyes and causes one to stumble. Hate keeps one from seeing through the eyes of Christ, which reveal the truth.

Too often, Christians allow themselves to be blinded by hurt, resentment, or pain. To hold a grudge or harbor feelings of malice or resentment toward others does not hurt the subject of those feelings so much, but rather causes the one who is resentful to walk in darkness. Darkness has no fellowship with light. This darkness keeps one from being holy and secure in their walk with God. Don’t let someone else’s actions get in the way of your holiness and the deepening of your spiritual life. Don’t let hatred for someone else darken your walk or damage your relationship with God. Seek the light, laying aside any emotional baggage that may attach itself to you in your dealings with others. Be free of hatred and walk with God in the light!
