1 John 4:21 New International Version (NIV)
21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who
loves God must also love their brother and sister.
Some things are very simple. We can't love God and refuse to
love each other. This is not hard to understand. On the other hand, some of our
kinfolks in the Lord are just down right hard to love because they can be so
difficult. But, we need to remember who we were when Christ died for us —
powerless, ungodly, sinners, enemies (Romans 5:6-11) — yet God loved us and
sent Jesus to save us. So before we whine about our
"hard-to-live-with" fellow Christians, we had better give thanks that
God loved us when we were sinners. Then we need to thank God for his grace by
being more loving with each other.
Thought for today:
Can I support a brother or sister even when I don’t agree with their
plan/position?
