Genesis 4:3 And in the process of time it came to
pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of
the ground to the LORD. 4 Abel also brought of
the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the
LORD respected Abel and his offering, 5 but He
did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain
was very angry, and his countenance fell. 6 So
the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And
why has your countenance fallen? 7 "If you do
well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not
do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for
you, but you should rule over it." 8 Now Cain
talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass,
when they were in the field, that Cain rose up
against Abel his brother and killed him.
9 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel
your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my
brother's keeper?"
Jn 13:34 "A new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another; as I have loved you,
that you also love one another. 35 "By this all
will know that you are My disciples, if you have
love for one another."
Rom. 13:8 Owe no one anything except to love
one another, for he who loves another has
fulfilled the law.
1 Thess. 4:9 But concerning brotherly love you
have no need that I should write to you, for you
yourselves are taught by God to love one another;
1 Pe 1:22 Since you have purified your souls in
obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere
love of the brethren, love one another fervently
with a pure heart,
1 Jn 3:11 For this is the message that you heard
from the beginning, that we should love one
another, 12 not as Cain who was of the wicked
one and murdered his brother. And why did he
murder him? Because his works were evil and his
brother's righteous.
1Jn 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also
ought to love one another.
12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love
one another, God abides in us, and His love has
been perfected in us.
How do we show our love for one another?
Receive one another
Ro 15:7 Therefore receive one another, just as
Christ also received us, to the glory of God.
Rev 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I
will come in to him and dine with him, and he
with Me.
Edifying (build up/encourage) one another
Ro 14:19 Therefore let us pursue the things
which make for peace and the things by which
one may edify another.
Serve one another with love
Gal. 5:13 For you, brethren, have been called to
liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity
for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
Bear one another's burdens
Ga 6:1-2 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any
trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one
in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest
you also be tempted. 2 Bear one another's
burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Be forgiving of one another
Ep 4:32 And be kind to one another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God
in Christ forgave you.
Submitting to one another
Eph. 5:21Submitting yourselves one to another in
the fear of God.
Exhort (comfort or strengthen) one another
He 3:12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of
you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the
living God; 13 but exhort one another daily, while
it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened
through the deceitfulness of sin.
Consider one another
He 10:24 And let us consider one another in order
to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking
the assembling of ourselves together, as is the
manner of some, but exhorting one another, and
so much the more as you see the Day
approaching.
Being hospitable to one another
1 Pe 4:9 Be hospitable to one another without
grumbling.
We are our brothers keeper!
How well are you being your brothers keeper?
Do you receive a new Christian into the family of
God or do you ignore them?
Do you try and reach out to others in the church
that are new or do you find yourself staying with
your same old friends?
Do you try to edify your brethren or do you put a
stumbling block in their way?
Do we submit to them or do we arrogantly to rule
over them?
Do we serve them in love or do we expect them
to serve us?
Do we demonstrate hospitality to them?
When our brother is overtaken by a sin do we
consider them?
Are we ignorant of their problems? If so, why?
Do we exhort our brethren lest they become
hardened by sin or are we afraid to confront
them, for fear of running them away?
Are we willing to bear their burdens to help them
overcome and become stronger in the Lord or
would we rather not be bothered?
Ecc 4:9 Two are better than one, Because they
have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if they
fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to
him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one
to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie down
together, they will keep warm; But how can one
be warm alone? 12 Though one may be
overpowered by another, two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Are we quick to forgive them when they repent?
Are we willing to accept a brother with open arms
and offer complete forgiveness?
John 13:34 .. love one another; as I have loved you …
