From the Paper:

"The Apostle begins his discussion of love within a discourse about the religious community. It is in crisis, he argues, and it is up to the true believers of the religious community to hold fast to their convictions and have the courage to actualize them in their daily lives. "For 1 John, it is not simply doctrinal correctness that spells true fellowship in the community, but ethical consistency." (Senior, 564.) With Christ brought to the earth as an intercession between the light and darkness, leading His followers on the correct path, John argues that the believer must not only understand love in its presence but in its application."
