May the grace of God the Father and the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
From very early in the Scriptures, we find relevant passages in which God attaches great importance to relationships between brothers. In Genesis 4: 9, the Word says:
And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he replied: I don't know. Am I my brother's guardian?
If there is something important for God, it is how you are interacting with your family. How is your relationship with your blood brothers and how is your relationship with your brothers in Christ?
God is not pleased with bad actions in fraternal relationships. On the contrary, he faces them. This was what he did with Cain when he faced his brother Abel and killed him. Immediately God confronts Cain and makes him see the evil of his heart. Of course, God knew everything that had happened. Cain looked for excuses to know nothing about his brother, instead, God confronted him with the truth.
We see this scene daily in Christian and non-Christian homes. The homes that do not have Christ in their hearts, the majority are hellish homes, live in lawsuits, in conflicts between siblings, fights between parents and children, in short, everything is a disaster product of hatred and hatred that one has the other. family.
If you review some scenes in the church, you will find murmurs, gossip and demands between brothers. All this discredits the body of Christ and the bad testimony towards those outside. Some unconverted people say: "To be like evangelicals, I better stay as I am." In part they are right. The church must deepen the knowledge of God about brotherly love. The Bible teaches that we must love each other. This is the great foundation for the growth and development of the Lord's church. We must abandon contests and murmurs, and show true mutual love.
The church should not act like the unsaved. The church is the place of restoration of souls and the auspicious place where God spills his love for people.
"Love your neighbor as yourself" is the essential and paramount thing for God in our fraternal relationships.
