The Commandment Completed in the Messiah

Written By Ricardo McGee

1st John 4:21

This verse serves as a sacred encapsulation of the Messianic principle. John refrains from providing suggestions or expressing sentiments. He proclaims a divine mandate received from God and realized in Christ. The love for God and the love for one's brother are not autonomous values that may be selected separately. They are interconnected truths rooted in the incarnation of the Messiah.

The Messianic promise entails not only God's presence among humans but also the restoration of human relationships. In Jesus, love transcends just abstract devotion. It manifests as embodied obedience. One who professes love for God must manifest that declaration via tangible, sacrificial, and interpersonal love for others. This exemplifies the practical application of covenant commitment.

John composes with ecclesiastical authority and apostolic fervor. His critique of Christian maturity reveals superficial spirituality that professes closeness to God while permitting estrangement, disdain, or apathy towards others. The Messiah did not express love from a distance. He assumed corporeal form, engaged with the impure, endured repudiation, and sacrificed Himself. 

Consequently, Messianic faith that eschews love for others undermines its own foundation. The compelling nature of this commandment is rooted in its origin and rationale. It originates from Him. Divine proclamation has been made. It adheres to the motif of redemption. If Christ loves us despite our sins, then love for our brethren is imperative and not contingent upon their merit. The evidence indicates that the Messianic promise resides within us.

This work compels the reader to do an honest assessment. Affection for God that fails to manifest as affection for others constitutes inadequate obedience. It may be genuine in sentiment but lacking in results. The Messiah advocates for a love that extends beyond limits and embodies the divine nature manifested in Christ.A prevalent deficiency in instructing this verse is the inability to define love in accordance with biblical principles. Absent the basis of love in the self-sacrificial actions of Christ, the commandment may be diminished to mere tolerance or emotional affection. Another deficiency is the oversight of the corporate aspect. 

John focuses on communal existence rather than solely on personal ethics. Ultimately, certain arguments highlight obligation devoid of transformation, overlooking the Spirit's role in facilitating this love through connection with the Messiah.

  • The commandment derives from divine authority, not human morality. 

  • Messianic love is evident, relational, and sacrificial. 

  • Affection for God is validated by affection for others. 

  • Community serves as the testing ground for genuine faith.

The Messianic promise is validated not only by our confessions regarding Christ but also by our expressions of love inspired by Him. When love for God transforms into love for our neighbor, the commandment is actualized, the gospel gains credibility, and the life of the Messiah is manifested through us in the present.
