So no matter who you are, or where you are in the Christian life, John writes to you and he reminds you of who you are – you’re a Christian. You’re not of this world. This is not your home. That empowers us not to love the world.
Though we may wonder how on earth we can show the love of God, John wants us to know we have been made new in Christ and it is His strength, not our own, that will enable us to do this.
He makes the case that the wrath you deserved was already poured out on Himself while hanging on the cross, and the accuser will have nothing left to say.
Where are you walking day by day? John says that if we say we have fellowship with God, if we claim to be Christians but we’re walking in darkness, then we are lying. We’re failing to live out our Christian character. So where does your route go? Where do you find yourself walking?
Our joy, of course, is not complete yet. We are waiting for eternity for that, when we’ll have complete fellowship with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and perfect fellowship with one another. Then when that day comes we will be filled with joy and God’s presence with eternal pleasures at His right hand.
