Part 4 Caring for our Brother

Treating each other with Love and kindness

Ephesians 4:31–32 NIV

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

No law has ever been passed that can compel one moral being to love another, for by the very nature of it love must be voluntary. No one can be coerced or frightened into loving anyone.4

Providing for one Another

James 2:14–17 NIV

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Christians, you are to love one another, not because of the gain which you get from one another, but rather because of the good you can do to one another

Christ’s “New Commandment”, Volume 51, Sermon #2936 - John 13:34, 35

Charles Spurgeon

Do good to All

Galatians 6:10 NIV

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between parties either—but right through every human heart—through all human hearts.
