Should Christians Love Each Other?
I was reading 1 John last night, and basically he says, and I'm paraphrasing here:
How can a Christian love their 'unseen' God when some can't even love each other.
That was the message in a nutshell. If we can all 'see' each other, fellow Christians, and still hold hate towards some Christian, how can we possibly truly love God who isn't "seen"?
I've been personally trying to better myself by walking with Jesus. Some days I may do alright, while others I fall on my face and do miserably. When I do stumble, which happens often, I pray to Jesus to do his work in me and continue to cleanse me. I found that when I was trying to do it by"myself", I'd actually do worse than before! But when I surrender it all to Jesus, He is the one who cleanses me. I give all my praise to Jesus for cleansing me on a daily basis.
When I disagree with a fellow Christian, I realize this may happen. But the bottom line is that God chose all of us to be his children because we trust in his son Jesus Christ.
Isn't Christian fellowship a joyful blessing!
God bless every one of you abundantly and I love you all, my brothers and sisters in Christ.
