We look further into the great commandment of God. John is very meticulous in his description.

Finally, we arrive at the great commandment of God. John has been leading up to this and this episode, we see it unveiled.

"This is how we know..." The way John assures us that we are in truth is very complicated. Let's try to untangle it.

How can we know that we are of the truth?

Join us as we begin a detailed analysis of the importance of "words, deeds, and truth." We also discuss how "brothers" implies the sibling connection of Cain and Abel somewhat differently than the colloquial "brothers and sisters."

Bonus word: Teknia!

While exploring the various different meanings of the word 'life,' we really get to the 'guts' of the matter.

That big verb: 'KNOWING' - and the way in which John applies it to love and life.

In verses 14 and 15, we looked at murder and hatred. Today we ask the question: what exactly is this laying down of one's life?

In verse 13, we started exploring the concept of death. Now, we delve into the profound subject of murder. What does it truly mean to murder, and how does hatred play a role in this act? Join us as we unpack these complex questions.

Today we look at John's interesting expansion of the topic from just discussing Cain to one of the wider world, death and life.
