Love One Another

“As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” (Galatians 6:10)

I remember from childhood a song that said, “Help somebody today, somebody along life’s way: let sorrows be ended, the friendless be friended; oh, help somebody today.” There are more opportunities to help others than we take advantage of.

We are instructed to do good to all men, but notice, especially other believers. I have heard it said, “Charity begins at home.” Church members must express love and concern for each other first and then let it continue over into the world. If those of the household of faith do not love one another the world will doubt the sincerity of our expressions of love for all men. The first century historian, Flavius Josephus, said this concerning the Christians of that day, “How they loved one another.”
