LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND OUR ENEMY

 

LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND OUR ENEMY

 

 

We all have problems.
We must help one another in our walk down the path that leads to the Kingdom.
In whatever we do we must strive to do in love for one another. This is how they know who we are.

Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

1Jo 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1Jo 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

If we are born again we have the conviction of the Holy Spirit and Christ in us and we do our best to please the Father. This is not to say we are perfect but it is perfection that we strive for. Those children of the devil don't strive for what is right and they do not love their brother. Some simply won't be helped. The scripture also tells us that if we have a brother who has sinned and refuses to strive for what is right we must have leave of him, he becomes like the enemy. But if he simply slips up I think we should do what we can to help him. We should do our best as a brother to help him to turn back to what is right in the Fathers eyes,

2Th 3:14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
2Th 3:15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

Jam 5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Jam 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

We must help a brother who has sinned or fallen.
In this way we show love for our brother and one another.
Yet by humble witnessing to the children of the devil, those that are lost, we show love for our enemy.
