What, indeed, is new is that the life that was expressed in perfection in Christ has been imparted to believers, so that it can be said, “Which thing is true in Him and in you.” For the believer to live this life in fellowship with divine Persons is possible, as God has been fully revealed in the Person of the Son, and has thus come into the light. God having been revealed, the darkness and ignorance of God that characterized the world is “passing” (1 John 2:88Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. (1 John 2:8) JND). When the Sun of righteousness arises, the whole world will come into the light; all will know the Lord. Then the darkness will be past, but, even now, the darkness is passing, as people emerge from Judaism and heathenism and come into the light of the revelation of God in Christianity.
