1 John 3:16-18
16This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. 17If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? 18Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
Who are our brothers?
• Proverbs 18:24
• Mark 3:34-35
What do our brothers have to do with our relationship with the Father?
• 1 John 2:8-10
• 1 John 4:20-21
What are the consequences of conflict with our brothers?
• Proverbs 18:19
• 1 Corinthians 8:10-12
What should we do about it?
• Matthew 5:22-24
• Luke 17:2-4
Many times we hear the saying blood is thicker than water, however I choose to think that maybe Spiritual bonds are thicker than blood. The people that we walk day to day life with, that we call up for comfort and encouragement, those brothers and sisters are closer than most bonds we know and feel with those around us. Those are the bonds that hold us up, that keep us accountable to the path we have set forth on, that walk with us through good and bad (a friend will bail u out of jail a best friend will be sitting next to you).
We are brothers in God, in spirit, and in truth.
Where are we in our relationship as spiritual brothers?
What is the next step we should be taking in our walk with eachother?
