The Way Of Cain Or The Way Of Christ

Authentic Christianity (10): Sermons on the New Testament letter of 1 John.
Reading: 1 John 3:11-18

In order to help us understand our call to love one another as Christians the apostle John contrasts the way of Cain with the way of Christ. John loves his contrasts – darkness/light, denying sin/confessing sin, antichrists/Christ, children of the devil/children of God etc & now it's loving one’s brother or hating him. To bring this home he contrasts Cain with Christ. His basic point being that hatred for brothers & sisters in Christ cannot coexist with the eternal kind of life which produces Christlike love for one another.
