“Anyone who claims to be in the
light, but hates his brother is still in the darkness. Whoever loves his
brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble.
But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the
darkness; he does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded
him.”
Any kind of hate in our lives
hinders our ability to walk with God. However, when we hate our brothers, we
are still living in darkness. “We love because he first loved us.” If we are
not showing the love we were shown, we are not living in the light. When we
love our brothers, showing the love we were shown when Jesus died on the cross,
taking on the sins we had committed so that we can have a relationship with
Him, we will not stumble. When we hate our brother we walk through our life in
darkness. We cannot see where we are going because we do not have love to light
the way.
