Our Love For Others Mirrors The Condition of Our Heart Read 1 John 2:9-11 Being a Christian involves more than just vocalizing our love to God, it also means demonstrating God's love to others.

Not only does it affect our relationships with other people, but it spiritually blinds us as well. Worse yet, harboring bitterness towards other people is a sin that can lead to other sins. If you are having trouble loving others, then you need to learn how to walk "in the light." How do you do that? Verse 6 of this chapter says "Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Christ did."
