—1 John 3:11-24
by: Dale Rood.
Jesus said you will recognize believers in Him by how they practice righteousness (Matthew 7:16,20). We know this in that we recognize the children of the devil in that they do not practice righteousness. What is the primary identification of the practice of righteousness? According to verses 11 and 23 of our passage, it is by how we love one another. We must avoid the error of Cain who was jealous of his brother because his brother’s works were righteous. “Love of the brethren” means we work for and rejoice in the success of each other.
