Love One Another

John 13:34-35

How important it is for you and me, as God’s people, to make an impact on this world in which we are living. This begins with a right relationship with God and a right relationship with one another.

One of the biggest misunderstandings we have in the Christian life is in thinking that we can get along with God and not get along with each other. The "one another" statements tell us in a practical way how to love one another. In the N . T ., there are twelve different references that contain these words: "love one another."

I. We Love One Another Because Jesus Commands Us To.

II. We Love One Another Because This is the Fulfillment of God’s Law. cf Ro. 13:18

III. We Love One Another Because We have Been Taught of God to Love One Another.

IV. We Love One Another because of the New Nature of God Within Us.

In the epistles of John, there are five verses that say "love one another":

These passages refer to the wonderful privilege we have of loving one another. And if we love one another, we are going to treat one another the way that God treats us. Do we love one another? Do we treat one another the way that God treats us? To fail in this is to disobey a fundamental command of our Lord Jesus Christ!
