The Long Walk (1 John 1:5–2:6)
John wanted his readers to be exposed to the truth that he and his fellow apostles had received from Jesus himself. That truth was more than mere theory. It had deep practical implications. The practical implications of the gospel truth form the major emphasis of the text before us. John argues that the truth of Jesus Christ will have profound implications on the way we walk.

First John is filled with teaching on love. Love is a central feature of new life in Christ. In the text before us, we see the Christian identity contrasted with a murderous lack of love. Christians are characterised by love because they have experienced the love of Christ for them on the cross. This ultimate act of love serves as our pattern in living out the life that we have through the gospel.
