We need to have a pure love for the brethren! So many times we only tolerate those around us that we call fellow Christians. Can God be happy with that? Can God bless us with that? Are we like the Children of Israel when Achan stole the wedge of gold and the Babylonian garment??
Are we trying to hide something under our tent????? Does God see what we have hidden????/ SURE!!!!
I. We should love one another NOW!!!
A. Expel jealousy from our lives and hearts.Example - Joseph's brothers.
B. Excuse past occurrences and end old feuds.Example - Paul and John Mark
C. Examine the supreme example. John 15.9II. We should help others love us!
A. Our approach to servitude should be sincere. - Ro. 12.91 Thes. 3.12
B. Our concern for others should be care-filled 2 Cor. 5.14
C. Our love for the Brethren should be a leading cause in our life.
