The Family of God

Just like in an earthly family, where you receive love and give it, in God's family, we are called to love and care for our fellow members.

There are 58 "one-anothers" in the New Testament. This is something to do with a Greek verb mode. The point is the mutual giving of oneself to the other person, and their giving of theirself, back.

The 58 "one anothers" fall under 5 categories:

Love One Another

Encourage One Another

Just a few weeks ago I met a sister in Christ in Atlanta (by phone) who is playing this role in my life. When I met Marita, I was in need of encouragement. We talked it over and she actually started to call me every day with a word of encouragement. She asks how I'm feeling, and how my day is going. Her daily phone calls are giving me the courage (en- Courage) to be the best I can be. To keep my spirits up.
