Are We Preparing for the Latter Rain?– Part XXV
A Loving People
The New Commandment of the Third Angel’s Message. Jesus said, “This is My commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are My friends, if you do whatsoever I command you.” John 15: 12-14, K.J.V.
Christ, through John, author of the gospel bearing his name, the three small epistles, and the last book of the Bible, wrote to the churches: “Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye have heard from the beginning. . . .Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in Him and in you; because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. He that saith he is in the light andhateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.” 1 John 2: 7- 9. John continues, “He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer and ye know no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” 1 John 3: 14, 15. “If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 1 John 4: 20.
