We Christians, as a body of believers, are the true church of Jesus Christ. We are all one in spirit and in purpose.

It is our duty to present ourselves as pure an faithful servants to our one and only God. We are called to be patient and to love one another.

It is through the love of God that we have the ability to overlook our differences. It is our prayer that we would be open minded and forgiving.

In John 13:34-35, Jesus said, “The greatest commandment of all is to love the Lord your God with all your hearts and minds, and to love one another as I have loved you.” Keep in mind that our church family of born again Christians is an eternal family never to be parted.

Anyone who is harboring hatred or resentment towards someone needs to examine their faith.

We need to have a constant conviction to do the ill of God and present ourselves as Christ-like people in Behavior and attitude. Our actions and speech define who we are. Jesus said, “what comes our of your mouth comes from your heart.”

Let us be ever mindful of the feelings of others and come to realize that we need each other. Only then will we feel the presence of God and the powerful love that He has to offer. This information is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.
