.One commenter has said…(I'm not correcting typos)“The Christian is obligated to "walk, even as He walked" (Jesus), in self-sacrificing humility("agape" love) The first commandment- thou shalt love the Lord thy god... The second- Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. John 2:9-11 point out that those claiming to be "in the light" were actually "in darkness" because of hatred toward his brother.
