LET BROTHERLY LOVE CONTINUE

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: LET BROTHERLY LOVE CONTINUE

TEXT: HEBREWS 13: 1-4 

THURSDAY MAY 25th 

Key Verse: 1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
We must be aware that many things come up in our lives to challenge the pure Christian love in the church, in the family, and in the marriage. Regardless of these things, we are admonished to ensure that brotherly love continues. We have to do good to entertain strangers. Or else we will be continually suspicious of everyone. We will always be fearing. There is no love at times, but the Bible tells us that perfect love casts out all fear. So, our love must be perfect; it must be intact else we cannot live a holy Christian life. Though there are challenges of ungodliness, which makes the relationship difficult, brotherly love must continue. We have to be patient and tolerant or else we will be always angry at the weaknesses and failures of others. Peter was not sure if he had the strength to continue loving and forgiving others who are constantly causing frustration. 
Matthew 18: 21-22, ‘Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, until seven times; but, until seventy times seven.’ 
Jesus speaks of forgiveness beyond what anyone had ever considered before. This is a limitless number of times, which means that we are to be prepared to enable and encourage brotherly love at all times, at any cost. This is a commandment, that we love one another. Owe no man anything but love. Always have a reservation of love for man. It’s risky not to show love. Even though we’re cautious and careful, we still show love. In Luke 10:31, the common treatment was to avoid, but the good Samaritan did not let anything stop him from doing good and kindness. Sometimes the suspicions are not correct, so we should not add to them, but be patient to prove them. Love is an indication of your Christianity. For example, a clock is only good when it shows the correct time, so a Christian is only a Christian when love is evident.

Thought for the day: Love is an indication of your Christianity

Song for the day: With the love of God in me, I will love as God loves…

Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 14-16; John 9:24-41

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
