How do you walk in love?
Jesus is your Example. Just as the Father sent Jesus and Jesus submitted Himself to the Father and Jesus walked in love by keeping the commandments of His Father, so are sent by Jesus and you should submit yourself to Jesus; the Word and walk in love by keeping His commandments (2 जॉन 1:6).
The saints need to admonish each other in love. So that every believer keeps walking in love on the narrow path that leads to eternal life.
When you see a brother or sister living in sin, falling back into sin every now and then, becoming disobedient to the Bible, or going after another doctrine that is not in agreement with the Word of God, then it’s your duty to admonish and gently correct your brother or sister.
If you love your brother and sister, you will admonish and/or correct him or her. So that the person can repent and be saved. (ये भी पढ़ें: ‘Whom the Lord loves He chastens and scourges’)
If you don’t care about your neighbour, you keep your mouth shut. You will accept everything this person does and let him or her keep on walking in rebellion and disobedience to God; in sins and iniquities, on his or her way to hell.
But if you do care about your neighbour and have the compassion of Jesus Christ, then you shall open your mouth, preach the truth of God’s Word, and reprove him or her of sin. ऐसा करने से, you will give life to the person and prevent the person from going to hell.
Therefore walk in Jesus’s love; love Jesus and keep all His commandments.
