FOR SO IS THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER. If we are born of God, He is our Father and we are His children, children of God by adoption of the Holy Spirit, through faith in Jesus Christ. While we may be many, coming from many different ethnic and cultural traditions, yet all truly born again believers are one body in the Lord, and every one members one of another. All believers in Christ form a brotherhood, close and precious. Toward our fellow believers, then, let us exercise brotherly love: compassion and pity in distress, benevolent relief when in want, help in time of difficulty. At the same time we are also warned of God to beware of false Christs and false churches which are rapidly gathering to form the ecumenical One World Church. God's Word commands us to keep clear and separate from such false movements, that we receive not of the plagues which will descend from God. Be wise and discerning therefore. Our love should be reserved for the brotherhood of true believers: not all are Christians who are called Christians.

For Meditation:
Christians begotten from above,
These truly must we fully love;
Cunning deceivers much abound,
Wolves in sheepskin prowl around,
In many-a false church they are found;
Reader, beware of Satan's brood,
These have no part in Jesus' blood.
