Friday Reflection February 4, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n
One Family Under God<\/p>\n\n\n
Good morning friends!
Happy Friday!
Happy Black History Month!<\/p>\n\n\n
Today’s text for reflection is Romans 12:10, it reads: Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
Romans 12:10 NIV
https:\/\/romans.bible\/romans-12-10<\/p>\n\n\n
Here in Romans 12, Paul is explaining what it means to live as an unselfish Christian. In the verse before this one he expressed that our love as believers in Christ for one another must be real and evident!<\/p>\n\n\n
In our text for reflection, Paul is making reference to loving one another as a form of devotion to a brother or sister. Many times he explained in different letters to the churches that we MUST LOVE each other with a brotherly affection What does that mean? For the most part, family is a unit that looks out for each other in a way where siblings (brothers and sisters) will do anything and everything to protect each other. Paul is saying here, that it is the same type of affection we as believers must have towards each other.<\/p>\n\n\n
We that are in Christ Jesus are really brothers and sisters. God adopts us as His children! Making us apart of His family. This family is made up of everyone who accepts God’s Grace and salvation. Brothers and sisters, of course, we don’t always get it right! We don’t always get along well! We are no different from most blood related families. However, the same level of shared loyalty and devotion to one another is expected!<\/p>\n\n\n
Paul went on to talk about how we should treat each other in realation to showing honor! It was said that as a family in Christ, we should outdo one another in showing honor to each other<\/p>\n\n\n
Can you just imagine how wonderful things would be if we take this verse and put it into practice? Everybody wudda always feel gud Inna God! Christians in the body of Christ would always feel deeply honored by others and would never be satisfied that we are honoring one another enough. It would be like a form of motivation to continue asking, “How can I show more honor to you than you showed to me?” What a beautiful thing! We would all be taken care of by each other!<\/p>\n\n\n
As I wrap up, I just wanna say to us as children of the light, love one another! Treat each other well!<\/p>\n\n\n
Blessings!
