Good morning, this is Michael De Rosa and today I want to look at 1 Peter 3:8 NASB:
To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit;
While loving one another in Christ is one of the hallmarks of Christianity, I have found that this is a whole lot easier to profess than to live out.
For instance: too many church’s split over bad blood.
And the irony of all of this is that we do it again! And so we find a different church where those problems ARE NOT, and believe that our walking away from the problems is synonymous with dealing with those problems.
My dear friends, if we handle our problems this way , they will return, and too many times when we least expect it.
So, my suggestion is this: let’s be quick to forgive one another, preferring one another over ourselves, and working out our differences in the context of Christian grace and mercy.
Jesus Christ who saved us from our sins is the only one that can save and restore our relationships.
Blessings on your journey
-Michael
