“I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father. And now I ask you, dear lady—not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.”
Seeing others who are faithful to the truth is a joy. And if you played a part, even an indirect part, in someone walking in the truth, it is an even greater joy. We walk in the truth by obeying God’s commandments. One of God’s commandments is that we love one another, and one of the ways that we love one another is to obey God’s commandments. Although it comes naturally, and though we were to do it from the start, we must be reminded to keep loving one another. We must not only do the right thing; we must keep doing the right thing.
