1 John 2:11 (ESV)

“But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.”


John doesn’t soften his warning here.


Hatred doesn’t just damage relationships, it damages vision. 


It blinds. 


When someone chooses bitterness or ongoing hostility, it affects their spiritual perception. 


They may think they see clearly, but darkness distorts direction.


Notice the progression:


In darkness

Walking in darkness

Blind because of darkness


Unresolved hatred clouds judgment, hardens the heart, and misguides the walk.


Love brings clarity.

Hatred brings confusion.


This isn’t about occasional irritation, it’s about a settled heart posture that refuses love
