Visible Christianity (Maintaining a right relationship with other Christians) Motivation: The chief factor in the life of believers is love toward the brethren, and therefore the apostle devotes a special paragraph to its discussion. In this introductory section of the Apostle John's first letter we have been noting what he has to say about maintaining fellowship with the Son of God. That is the secret of the abundant life. Now, he comes to the practical goal toward which all this is moving. We find this in Verses 7-11. Application: The church, as the body of Christ, is a unique creation of Jesus Christ and occupies a special place in God’s redemptive work among humanity. The church’s special role entails proclaiming the doctrinal truths concerning the person of Jesus Christ, and it includes manifesting, through the interactions and character of its members, the transformative power of the Gospel. This visible manifestation is proof positive of the proclaimed truths. What does the world see of Christ in you? How much has your faith effected change in how you relate to others?
