God challenges a father to be wise to be an example with his Christian believers
By T. S. Candee on November 1, 2021 in God's Gift for Fathers
As a Christian, you have been called to be blessing to your brothers. The apostle Peter painted a clear portrait of the relationship Christian brothers should have:
Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
According to Peter, being a good Christian brother requires you to step outside of yourself, to think about the struggles of others, and to do good toward them. Put your brothers’ needs before your own, and trust that the Lord will provide everything you need.
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
A friend loveth at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.
