<p>2:6- see on Mt. 14:29.</p><p><em>He that says he abides in him, ought also to walk even as he walked</em>- The reference is to loving as He loved us, which is the &quot;new commandment&quot; of the next verses. We abide in Him insofar as He abides in us, through the gift of the Spirit permitted by us to operate in our hearts. We cannot claim to experience this if we do not love as He loved us. For the love principle will affect our entire &quot;walk&quot; in daily living and thinking.</p><p>John speaks of Jesus as &ldquo;that one&rdquo; in the Greek text of 1 Jn. 2:6; 3:5,7,16; 4:17. I.H. Marshall comments: &ldquo;Christians were so used to talking about Jesus that &lsquo;that One&rsquo; was a self-evident term&rdquo;.&nbsp; Too often I hear fellow believers talking about their faith in terms of &ldquo;I believe that&hellip; I do not believe that&hellip;&rdquo;. Maybe I&rsquo;m being hypercritical, but surely it ought to be a case of believing <em>in</em> the things of the personal Jesus, rather than &lsquo;believing<em> that</em>&hellip;&rsquo;. For example. I believe <em>in</em> Jesus returning to the earth, rather than &lsquo;I believe that Jesus will return&rsquo;. It&rsquo;s so absolutely vital to see and believe in the Lord Jesus as a person, rather than merely a set of doctrine / teaching <em>about </em>Him.</p>
