GODLY LOVING IS GOD'S, WAY!!!
" IF WE ARE ONE SPIRITUAL FAMILY, THEN WHY ARE WE AFRAID OF EACH OTHER? "
Apostle James R, Winfree, Sr, I Am Mandated By The Lord To Cultivate, Enlighten, Empower, God's Nations Son's And Daughters In His Love, Inspiring the Worldwide Nations Social Media Churches Of Jesus Christ to reach our heavenly Father's will, plan and His purpose according to our Holy Blessed Savior Jesus Christ New Testament Promise of Love, Grace, and Faith, and to live our Kingdom lives on earth as if we were in heaven:
The Biblical Truth “my brother’s keeper” occurs in the context of the story of Cain and Abel in ( Genesis 4:1-9 ). After the Lord God had expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden for their disobedience, Cain killed his brother Abel out of jealousy that God had found Abel’s sacrifice acceptable, but He had rejected Cain’s. After the murder, the Lord, knowing full well what had happened, asked Cain where Abel was. Cain’s response was "I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?"
Yes, despite the surly response Cain offers to the God who created him. While we must love one another this is a biblical absolute fact, keeper of others first in the family of God, and then to all others in that we are responsible for everyone’s connected to Christ and His body, the Church when we are present and able to, every man, woman, brother, sister is their brother’s keeper in that we are not to commit violent acts against them or allow others to do so if we can prevent it.
This love of keeping is something God rightfully demands of everyone who truly loves Him in Jesus Christ, on the grounds of both justice and love. But Cain’s reply indicates a total lack of any kind of feeling for his very own brother, not to mention the absence of brotherly love, and the overriding presence of the kind of selfishness which kills affection and gives rise to hatred.
If you hate and can't honor or respect your heavenly spiritual family, please don't try and teach or preach to me Jesus' own family and people did Him the same way, despised and rejected Him. So they did it to Him, they will also do it to us... And He still gave His life for them and us. Amen.
So are God's sons and, daughters to be the keepers of other Kingdom of heaven family? Yes, in two ways. First, we are not to commit acts of violence against one another. This includes violence of the tongue in the form of gossip and “quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder” ( 2 Corinthians 12:20 ).
Second, we are to exhibit brotherly love toward our brothers and sisters in Christ with a tender heart and a humble mind ( 1 Peter 3:8 ). In this way, we “keep” those for whom Christ gave His life. I have members of my very own family who call themselves Christians and yes even say they are ministers of the gospel, who never ever showed me any love or support in the work of the Lord, But I love them just the same, and if had to would give my own life for them.
One of the golden chapters of the Bible is (1 Corinthians 13). In this magnificent portion of the Scriptures, we are reminded that love is even greater than faith and hope. Chapter 13 comes to the heart of Apostle Paul’s explanation of how the Body of Christ ( the Church) is like the human body and is made up of many members, all of whom are important to the function and well-being of the Body.
We are continually encouraged throughout the New Testament to love one another ( Hebrews 13:1;) ( Romans 12:10;) ( 1 Thessalonians 4:9 ). Sometimes love must correct, admonish or reprove ( 2 Thessalonians 3:13-15;) ( Matthew 18:15 ). However, correction is always to be done in the spirit of love with the goal of reconciliation.
Elder Paul the Apostle wrote to the Church at Thessalonica, “And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake.
Be at peace among yourselves. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all” ( 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15 ).
So, as Christ Body, His Church, we are to be our brother’s keeper. As Apostle Paul wrote, “Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify (build up) another” ( Romans 14:19 ). Amen.
