And this is love.

That we walk in obedience to his commands.

So all this...

is he said it in 1 John, he said it in 2 John, he's talking about truth, he's talking about the word, he's talking about commands, and he's talking about love.

So verse 6 at the end says, as you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.

Well, there he kind of uses walking in truth and walking in love interchangeably.

Interchangeably, yes.

Which is kind of fascinating.

So it reminds you of Ephesians 4 when it talks about the church.

And he says we should speak the truth in love.

Remember that passage?

It's Ephesians 4 somewhere.

It's in there.

So, and with that in mind, before we get to my rabbit hole, the last verse...

of 1 John, it says, keep yourselves from idols.

After talking about all this truth and love and knowing Christ and this intimate thing, it says, keep yourself from idols.

Well, what does that remind you of?

Why bring up idols?

When's the first time you remember idols coming on the scene as far as the entire Bible?

Tower of Babel?
