Being members of one another binds us to certain behaviors and attitudes.
We are bound to interact with integrity and honesty(Ephesians 4:25).We are likeminded and mutually accepting(Romans 15:5-7).We are bound in love(Colossians 3:14-15).John 13:34; 15:12, 17; Rom. 13:8; 1 Thess. 4:9; 1 Peter 1:22; 1 John 3:11, 23; 4:7, 11, 12; 2 John 5
Our Mutual Reliance on One Another Reflects Itself…
In Service(Galatians 5:13-14; 1 Peter 4:8-11)In Singing(Colossians 3:16; Ephesians 5:19)In Submission(1 Peter 5:5)In Sympathy(1 Peter 3:8; 1 Corinthians 12:26)
“No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.”(1 John 4:12)
Our lives only have meaning if God is in us, and God is only in us if we love one another.
