We are only here for a little while. As long as we are, we are to show evidence of our new birth in Christ by loving one another, especially our fellow believers. God’s Word should be our life because all else will fade and die. Only God remains. If we want to live a full and rewarding life, it can be about nothing else but Jesus and being holy just as He is. (1 Peter 1:14-16)
We must walk just as Jesus walked (1 John 2:5-6) and do it in love for our brothers and sisters. (Ephesians 5:1-2; John 13:34) When we love each other, we look like Jesus and show the world we are His disciples. (John 13:35) If we can’t love our brother, how will we ever love our enemies? (1 John 4:20-21; Matthew 5:44)
