Commanded to Love
1 John 2:7-11

- Love & Hate (v9-10)

10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.
- Sight & Blindness (v11)
11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.
