Bible Study - 1 John Epistle Chapter 3 - Episode 10

Do I realize that hating others or being indifferent to their needs means that I’m murdering that person, making myself a member of the devil’s camp? Do I know that as a true follower of Christ, I must love my fellow man to the point of sacrificing to help them as they need? Am I from God or from the devil? Do I consciously make the decision to love and help others, or am I a murderer in the sense that I choose not to help them in their need or even go as far as hating them or being jealous of them? How can I apply God’s unconditional love starting with my own family, friends and close circle of friends who are icons of Christ?
