Loving One Another.

Hello again to anyone who reads this. How was your week? I hope it was swell. Short post for today, so I am going to go with a spiritual message. This Sunday I would like to talk about 2nd Corinthians 2:7-8. As many people know, one of Jesus's big teachings is to love one another despite who they are. However, despite the simplicity of this commandment, many people (myself included) have had problems with loving one another unconditionally. As a result, Paul felt he should write about it in his second epistle to Corinth. In his epistle he speaks about how Saints (referring to the early Christians) should care and love each other, doing what they can to help each other. I feel that this is an excellent strategy by Paul to say this because having the saints begin by helping and loving each other is a good stepping stone into loving everyone, which is the full commandment. I feel this goes along with the doctrine of "line upon line, precept upon precept" because what God is having done is he is having his missionaries teach the law of love slowly so that it is easier to follow. I would also like to challenge all of you is to love another, and if you have problems doing that, for whatever reason, then take it line upon line and slowly work your way up to the level expected of us by Christ. Even if you are not a religious person, loving and being kind to others will only do good for the world as people will be able to help others. So whoever you are that reads this, i challenge you to strive to be kinder and more loving to anyone and everyone around you as a fellow human and Child of God. For this I bare my testimony, that what Christ wants us to do is love and forgive one another, and that doing so will make us more like him.
