The bible makes these observations about the importance of loving one another:
“...the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.” 1 John 4:20—21
“...encourage one another day after day...lest anyone of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:13
God gave us one another so that we may grow mature in our love for Him. The encouragement of your brothers and sisters is crucial to stay on the right track. using your spiritual gifts is key to effective ministry in the church body.
At RBC, we are committed to developing disciples who love one another with the same passion that our Lord loved us:
“Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart...” 1 Peter 1:22
