A Word of Encouragement: Loving One Another in Christ 🌿


Beloved brothers and sisters,
The heart of our faith is love—the love of Christ that rescued us, healed us, and called us His own. This love is not meant to stay hidden in our hearts; it is meant to flow like living water, reaching everyone we encounter. Jesus Himself said, “By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:35)


To love in Christ is to forgive quickly, to speak life when the world speaks harshly, and to see the image of God in every soul—even when it’s hard. Love is not a weak thing; it is the greatest force of heaven, the power that conquered the grave. When we love one another, we are carrying the very presence of Jesus into our homes, our communities, and our world.


Let us encourage one another:


  • When someone is weary, lift them up with words of grace.
  • When someone is broken, be a safe place of kindness and prayer.
  • When someone stumbles, restore them gently, just as Christ restores us.

This love is not ours alone—it is His love flowing through us. As we draw near to Him, His Spirit will teach us to love with a deeper compassion, a greater patience, and a joy that never fades.



Take this promise to heart:


“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.” (1 John 4:7)​

How do we love others? Treat them like you'd want to be treated, and don't treat them like you wouldn't want to be treated. Do this as a habit in every area of your life and Christ will form within you, fulfilling the law and prophets.

Making it a habi is indeed a good thing, just as making it a habit to not speak ill of people or making it a habit to not lie every good habit is pleasing in God's sight
and making it a habit to love one another is good in his sight.

Encouraging one another building each other up and even when we disagree treating each other with respect these are good things to practice

“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us:

and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭3:16-19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I, tried what you asked, I tried under Law, and found out what a wreck I am. I thank God for that experience to go through, as like, the Galatians did and the Corinthians did at first, and why Paul wrote to them both, a little differently to each gathering.
I saw, I can love, my own way, which was and is never perfect love ever. That kept me in being a better person than others and worse than others, me judging,
(Luke 18:9-14)( Matthew 18:24-35) I see by God I am forgiven by God through Son's done work, how can I ever accuse, excuse or judge anyone anymore, since seeing Romans 2:1-4 and Rom 14:1-4 also
One day I gave up, yelling I can't do it! like I think others do in religion, seemingly doing better than me for sure,.Luke 18:9-14
Then I heard, it is I, God that saves, no works do it, not of you, of my Son alone did it, that is done for you too (John 19:30). No more, having to do will do it anymore the Law is fulfilled in Jesus for us all alone. I, God in Son did it for you, then rose Son from the grave, to give new life in my Love for all, no more flesh trying to do it. Ephesians 1 and 2 tells me this truth and I say thank you To Father and Son now forever, even if I sin again, knowing God loves me and is not excusing my sin. I see to be willing to learn new from God not any one else ever again 1 John2:27, Hebrews 8 as there are others verses that tells me this truth too, God loves us all that deep, wide and high. Believe, receive and see new it not being about you or other people, either. and sin no more through continued sincere belief to God, it is done for you to be new by God for you too
Then the love of God pours through, not my doings anymore. They are now dung to me too as in Phil 3 tells me from Paul
