Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.\u201d I Peter 5:5<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ultimately, all Christians should be like-minded in the things of God.\u00a0Our beliefs should unify us.<br><em>\u201cFulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.\u201d Philippians 2:2<br>\u201cFinally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:\u201c I Pet. 3:8<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not only should we love our Christian brothers and sisters, but we should strive to help and meet their needs.<br><em>\u201cFor, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.\u201d Gal. 5:13<br>\u201cAnd let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:\u201d Heb. 10:24<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Christians are your brothers and sisters in Christ.\u00a0Pray for them as you would your biological family members.<br><em>\u201cConfess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.\u201d James 5:16<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Getting along with other believers is a good testimony to others watching our lives. Likewise, those at odds with other members of the family of God are poor testimonies.\u00a0Disunity among the brethren is observed and is often the reason others no longer go to church or associate with believers.<br><em>\u201cBy this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.\u201d John 13:35<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not always easy to get along with others, including Christians.&nbsp;However, some of the worst damage done to Christianity is the feuding, fussing, and fuming among believers.&nbsp;The world sees it, and it becomes a black eye for the cause of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often it takes Christian maturity and often much humility, but for Christ\u2019s sake and His cause, we must try to love our fellow believers.&nbsp;It can be most \u201cpleasant\u201d when we get along with Christian family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Today\u2019s Thought:<\/strong><br>\u201cLove is the doorway through which the human soul passes from selfishness to service and from solitude to kinship with all mankind.\u201d \u2014 Author Unknown<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Words to Understand:<\/strong><br>Brethren: In this case, it refers to other born-again children of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Today\u2019s Reading:<\/strong><br><em>Psalm 133<br>1 A Song of degrees of David.
