Continuing in 1 John - we have a NEW command. But it is really the same command. It is a command that brings life and freedom to all. It is the command to love one another.

In our social climate, the goal is to stop hating, although that is a good goal, and you should do that. The goal is to love! Indifference is still hate. Lack of compassion is still hate. Isolation is still hate. 

Jesus is the perfect example of love - follow him!
