    Question To be like Jesus

    1 John 2:6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

    Notice that it doesn't say that we are to keep his commandments, it says to walk as He walked. What do you think that means ?

    But in the 5 verses before that he says to keep His commandments 3 times (2 commandments, one 'keep His word'). So in the context of the scripture you quoted, he's directly relating it to keeping His commandments. And in the whole book he mentions it 6 times. So walking as He walked seems to be directly connected to keeping His commandments. I mean how can we walk as He walked unless we keep His commandments?

    But I believe walking as He walked means no less than how Jesus Himself walked.

    We also read in Jn 14 Where Jesus said (3 times) if we love Him we will keep His commands.
