  • Receiving One Another in the Name of Christ

    25 May, 2013 /

    Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. Romans 15:7 Christians ought to live in peace and in unity according to the word of God (Psalm 133:1). It is God’s will that His people love one another so that others can see the love between Christian brothers and sisters (1 Peter 1:22). Spiritual conversion in our hearts ought to produce genuine love to the brethren. Many Christians know this in their minds, and even in their hearts but many times, we are slow to show these actions of loving one another practically. Paul admonishes the Christian church members to receive one another. This…

  • Consistency

    13 April, 2013 /

    And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. Romans 14:23 It is important to note that this passage refers to issues of non-spiritual consequence (i.e. If we do it, we are not more spiritual; if we do not do it, we are not less spiritual.) Food and days do not commend us to God, if we observe them or not. The more important principle portrayed here is the keeping of a pure conscience and love for the brethren. When we do something that we believe to be right but with which the Bible says is…

  • Biblical Love in the Church

    4 November, 2012 /

    Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Romans 12:10 The Lord Jesus in John 13:34,35 have taught his disciples to unconditionally love one another according to the will of GOD. Paul, in writing to the church in Romans, expands with specific details as to how we need to live this life in the local church. Love binds brethren together; it is the spiritual glue that fuses the church together; the fire that warms the heart of every member. Without the type of love God refers to, we are doomed to a loveless and meaningless existence within the local church. What does Paul teach…

  • The Practice of Charity (Love)

    21 October, 2012 /

    Let love be without dissimulation. Romans 12:9 After the apostle Paul’s discussion on spiritual gifts, he moves on to instructing the church on how they ought to live together and serve the Lord together, which was a needful thing for the Roman Christians. He expounds the very foundation of all interactions within the Christian church, the very key ingredient that glues the local church together in their lives together. The foundation is unconditional love (agape translated love). There are three Greek words for love; Eros – love between husband and wife, Philo – friendship love, and Agape – unconditional love. Paul was not referring to the first two in this.…
