We Are Called To Love One Another

 No Christian should regard him or herself as super-spiritual or consider themselves as superior or more highly favored than any other child of God. We are all sinners saved by grace with no merit of our own. We Are Called To Love One Another with brotherly and sisterly affection, to be kind, compassionate, hospitable, and gracious towards one another, forgiving one another and honoring each other above ourselves. We are entreated to be devoted to one another in love and to let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for her.
 With the exhortation to gently and lovingly restore a brother or sister in Christ, we are also warned to be careful not to fall into the same temptation ourselves.
 We live in a world where the enemy of our soul is seeking to shipwreck the faith and witness of every one of us who are part of the Body of Christ. We are all prey to the wiles of the devil and his deceptive practices, which are causing many good Christian men and women to stray from the path of righteousness. How important, therefore, that we daily examine our walk, our ways, our words, our actions, our attitudes, and our motives, to be sure that we do not fall from grace but live godly in Christ Jesus, being careful not to be tempted ourselves.
Galatians 6:1 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we pray that we may grow in grace and live our lives as You would have us live, in spirit and in truth. Help us to be kind, compassionate, hospitable, and gracious toward our brothers and sisters in Christ. May we love others in the same way that Christ loved us and gave Himself for us. Help us to exhibit spirits of forgiveness and grace, honoring others above ourselves. Give us a spirit of gentleness and love in our dealings with others, especially those that are straying from the path of righteousness. Keep us humble before You, lest we are tempted to sin and so dishonor Your holy name. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
