"He that loveth his brother abideth in the Light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him." 1 John 2:10
“Whoever loves His brother [believer] abides (lives) in the Light, and in it or in him there is no occasion for stumbling or cause for error or sin.” 1 John 2:10 Amplified Bible
If we love one another, there is no occasion for us to stumble and there is no occasion to sin within us, none! God said, and His Word is everlasting, if we love our brothers in the Lord, there is absolutely and positively no occasion that we can sin. Now that is some powerful stuff, but here is what even makes it even more powerful. “And I have declared unto them Thy Name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” John 17:26 Jesus is declaring God’s Name to us, He ever lives to do it, so the love that God had for Jesus, the Head of the Body of whom we are part of, is now eternally within us. If we are truly saved, than we can’t help but love our brothers, because we have the same love for them that God has! Man that is so awesome, the love that has been born into us is the same love of God, now that just isn’t love, that’s perfect love. And since we now have God’s love within us, there is no occasion for us to stumble or to sin! Just allow the power and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to teach you the full victory of this Truth! I know that it is easy to struggle with the power of these verses. I mean how in the world could we ever love as God loves. But we can love as God loves because the power of the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior has allowed our Father to do it through us. If we walk by sight with this, we will stumble and fall into the ditch. But if we allow Jesus to Author and Finish our faith, we will see clearly that God is willing and able to that which He has spoken. We will humbly accept the power of Jesus and acknowledge that it is the Father within us; He does the works! And the Truth will set us free and we will love as God loves and there will never be an occasion for us to stumble or fall!
