We were designed to live in a community, just like the Triune God. We were asked to live in an authentic fellowship, not in a superficial, plastic community. How can you tell the difference? Well, think of these 'one anohter' attributes. To what extent are they shown in your community? By others to you? By you to them?
Forbearing one another
Edifiying one another
Loving one another
Looking after one another
Opening up to one another
Welcoming one another
Shouldering one another's burdens
Honoring one another
Inspiring one another
Praying for one another
C.S Lewis once wrote:
“The worldly man treats certain people kindly because he ‘likes’ them. The Christian, trying to treat every one kindly, finds himself liking more and more people as he goes on -- including people he could not even have imagined himself liking at the beginning.
