Daily Bible Thought > 1John 2:10 Stumbling/Light

1John 2:10 He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.

Can a person love their brother while teaching a lie? Moreover, can a person love their brother while judging them under laws that where fulfilled in Christ Jesus? When a person puts a stumbling block before some one it is not for a good reason, it is rather with evil intent of hurting them.

1 Thessalonians 5:15 See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all.

The idea of selfishness in love is an oxymoron, is it not? Yet, those putting the stumbling block of the Old Law, or the laws of the flesh before their brothers, and sister hangs a milestone on their neck, causing a death from a new birth into life. Love does not work evil; the Old Law righteous as it was, point out evil in us, because we could not keep it, hence, it declared us unrighteous a sinner. How than could a person be set free in Christ under the Royal law and subsequently, judge their brother by dead works of laws, making them unrighteous again?

1 Corinthians 13:5 (love) doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

Romans 7:19 For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice.

Romans 7:21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

On the other hand, if we love our brothers we encourage them to walk in the light of Christ Jesus, freeing them from judgment by the laws of the flesh. We don't put a stumbling block before them, something we ourselves could not even see without the light of Christ Jesus and YHWH unmerited kindness, imputing Christ righteousness too us.

Galatians 1:4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father.
