 VERDICT - "Law and Commandments in the Gospel of John" - Robert D. Brinsmead
John also teaches that the Law not only points to Christ; it is not only a prophecy of Christ; but the Law is replaced or superseded by Jesus Christ.
In John the Law is not used as a rule of life for the Christian community, because Christ, to whom the Law pointed, has come.
John emphasizes that the believer lives out of him who kept the Father's commandment and that the believer keeps Christ's command, his commandment, his word by reflecting that same kind of sacrificial love in relation to others.
