Church: Loves one another
1 John 3:11 | This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
1. Are there any followers of God who are hard for you to love? If so, who and why?
2. If the church- God’s followers- is not getting along, how does it impact believers and unbelievers?
Ephesians 4:31-32 | Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
3. Are you currently bitter, angry, gossiping, or speaking badly of any other believers? If so, what do you need to do according to Ephesians 4?
4. Did God require us to do anything so we could be forgiven? Based on that example, should the person you are upset with be granted your forgiveness?
Romans 12:10 | Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.
5. Showing love to other believers takes action! What are you doing to love others?
6. Who is someone you can honor today? What can you do? Now go do it!
