In his letter to the Galatians, the apostle Paul writes, “The only thing that really counts is faith that shows itself through love” (Galatians 5:6 NIV). If you were to ask Paul what this “faith that shows itself through love” looks like, he would likely rattle off a list of instructions that include the words, “one another.” “Build one another up.” “Forgive one another.” “Bear with one another.” “Serve one another.” The list goes on and on…
It’s likely that after each “one another” Paul would add the words, “just as.” Each of the 59 “one another’s” in the New Testament is a specific application of Jesus’ command, that we “love one another just as I have loved you” (John 15:12).
In worship this fall, we’re going to consider some of the “one another’s” in the New Testament. These instructions seem especially timely today as we build relationships with one another in the church that reflect the love of Christ to the world around us.
Join us each week as we deepen our relationships with Christ, one another and our neighbors, learning to love one another just as Christ has loved us.
