Throughout the New Testament there are a particular class of commands that have been labeled the “one another” commands. These commands are to help Jesus followers relate to “one another” in life. In my opinion they all flow and expound from the “new commandment” that Jesus gives in John 13:34-35, the command to “love one another”. These commands answer the question, “How do we love one another?”
For my Meadowview family in light of Sunday’s sermon (1 John 2:7-11) let’s take time this week to evaluate our obedience to these commandments.
