The Family of God Näide

Your Brothers & Sisters in Christ

Our brothers and sisters in Christ are simply those who have surrendered their hearts and lives to Jesus. Together, we help each other on our journeys in this new life as children of God.

We are one body with many parts. The Bible says that we are all a part of the family of God. We have different roles, gifts, talents, and responsibilities. God encourages us to gather and fellowship together regularly to build each other up. It is when we gather that we can stir each other up in love and good works.

There is power in unity! Even though we have different gifts, talents, upbringings, nationalities, and looks, we all have one thing in common and that is Jesus. We all have the privilege of bearing the image of God and being Christ-like. We all can live our lives through the perspective of Heaven.

We must encourage, sharpen, and build each other up so that we all look and live like Jesus!
