There is a tremendous truth found in verse 6. In case you missed it, here is the verse again, “Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.” Wow – as I mentioned yesterday, salvation leads to life-change. How could it not? Jesus died and rose again that we might have life eternal and he LIVED that we might learn to live rightly.
We are meant to walk with God (like Enoch – Gen. 5:24) and therefore we must follow Jesus’ example. How can someone call themselves a Christian and not actually act like Jesus? John’s point is that they can’t (btw – the name “Christian” means “little Christ”). He thinks that because we are forgiven, we are now free to NOT sin! What a thought and a refreshing way to look at this life! What do you think? What can we pray for you about?
