—1 John 2:7-11
by: Margaret Taylor.
The words of Christ himself on more than one occasion were, "You shall love your neighbor as you do yourself." (Matthew 19:19; 22:39, Amplified) This is not a new concept to the believer. What makes it "new" is the light of God's love at work in us revealing, cleansing, remodeling, and transforming US in our own minds.
As our knowledge and understanding of self changes, our attitudes and opinions of self change. As we see ourselves differently, we see others differently. This can happen only when the Light is clearly shining in our souls, revealing who we are in him, and what we have yet to do to become like him.
