God is revealing the way he wants us to live. This “way” is not a surprise. He has been revealing it to us since the beginning. But it has taken on new meaning. Things are changing. New life is taking hold in people who follow him. They are living in increasing measure in the light.
Love is the main quality of living in the light. If a person does not love a brother, he is still walking in darkness. He is blind. No matter who you are or where you have progressed in your relationship with God, this is true. Love, light and knowing God travel together.
But do not love the world. It is a system that runs counter to God’s system. Its values run counter to God’s values. It lifestyle runs counter to God’s lifestyle. And it is temporary.
