“For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.” (1 John 3:11, NKJV)

Since believer do what is right and abhor what is wrong, their lives will be characterized by love. But the world will not respond kindly to their goodness, just as Cain did not respond to Abel’s (1 John 3:11-12).

From the beginning God hath taught men that they should love one another. This is essentially necessary to the comfort and well-being of man in times of trials and difficulty. Man is dependent to his fellow man. We are dependent to one another.

Mutual love makes this dependence beautiful and more profitable. Nothing can be more admirable to a sincere and benevolent heart than to convey acts of kindness.
