What does it mean to love your neighbor? And what does love of neighbor, or lack thereof, say about our relationship with Christ? John continues to challenge readers to examine whether or not they are abiding with Christ by considering how well they love those around them. He closes this passage by summarizing chapters 2 and 3 with reminders that everything we do to keep the Lord’s commandments is an expression of our love of Him.
