John's teaching here begins with the spirit of truth, and we should also...
2 John 1:2 For the truth's sake, which abides in us, and shall be with us for ever.
The spirit of truth gives us the power to discern the love found in Christ alone
1 John 4:6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God
does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Jesus identifies the Holy Spirit as the spirit of truth
John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth;
for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will
tell you things to come.
The spirit of truth turns those who continue walking in error away from us.
They cannot abide in truth.
1 John 2:
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us,
they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made
manifest, that none of them were of us.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because
you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
Those who love the truth will abide in fellowship,
so that we can love each other as we have been loved.
The love of the truth removes the burden from God's commandments.
The character of those who reject the gospel testifies to the spirit of truth or error.
1 John 4:6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does
not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Grace and truth enable the human heart to receive the Love of God.
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Once received, we still must obey the command to "love each other,
even as I have loved you".
Sharing love, how could that ever be grievous?
