ACC ~ 1 John 2 v6

THE SAME WAY IN WHICH HE WALKED. LEO THE GREAT: Our hope of eternal life is in him. He is the pattern of our patience. Otherwise we are using the likeness of a false profession if we do not follow the commands of him in whose name we glory. And these would not be burdensome to us and would free us from all dangers, if we would love only what he commands us to love. SERMONS 90.2.

DWELLING IN GOD. HILARY OF ARLES: There are three ways that we dwell in God—by faith, by hope and by love. God dwells in us by patience and humility. INTRODUCTORY COMMENTARY ON 1 JOHN.

FOLLOW CHRIST’S FOOTSTEPS. BEDE: Let us follow Christ’s footsteps with the entire effort of our minds. And so that we may deserve to come to the gate of his heavenly kingdom, let us seriously consider entering it by that course of action by which he proceeded when he was spending his life on earth. HOMILIES ON THE GOSPELS 2.11.
