One Another

What began as a simple word study done on a whim this afternoon quickly became a very convicting list of NT instructions. Take a look.


WHAT WE SHOULD DO TO “ONE ANOTHER”


Love – John 13:14; John 15:12; John 15:17; Romans 13:8; 1 Thessalonians 4:9; 1 Peter 1:22; 1 John 3:11; 1 John 4:7; 1 John 4:11; 1 John 4:12; 2 John 1:5

Prefer – Romans 12:10; Philippians 2:3

Receive – Romans 15:7

Admonish – Romans 15:14; Colossians 3:16

Salute – Romans 16:16

Greet – 1 Corinthians 16:20; 2 Corinthians 13:12; 1 Peter 5:14

Serve – Galatians 5:13

Forbear – Ephesians 4:2; Colossians 3:13

Forgive – Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:13

Comfort – 1 Thessalonians 4:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:11; 2 Corinthians 1:4

Edify – 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Forsake – Hebrews 10:25


Lord willing, this will be worked into a Sunday School lesson in the near future. In the meantime, I need to ask for God’s help in brining my life into line with these instructions regarding my actions and attitudes toward my brothers and sisters in Christ. How about you?

  1. Not bad, easy enough to understand.

    I sometimes wonder (wonder alot) what God's point of all this is? Meaning, life seems like a big experiment gone bad. In the end, there are eternal winners & eternal losers.
