I often find it hard to be surrounded by people. Now, I'm not saying that I don't like them (even though I know at times that is how it does come across) or don't care for them, but I often wonder how I am supposed to live with people? How am I supposed to act around them? How am I supposed to treat them? Well, thinking about this I took some time to look into the Word. I found a list of -one anothers- as I will call them, which I believe is God telling us exactly how we are supposed to live with one another, how we are supposed to act around one another, and how we are supposed to treat one another. Now, some things are broad, but all are important and I believe that by looking at how Jesus lives we can apply these -one anothers- more specifically.
So, what are the -one anothers-?
love one another - John13:35
be devoted to one another. honor one another above yourselves. -Romans12:10
live in harmony with one another. -Romans12:16
accept one another.-Romas15:7
instruct one another.-Romas15:14
agree with one another.-1Cor1:10
serve one another.-Galations5:13
bear with one another in love.-Ephesians4:2
be kind and compassionate to one another.-Ephesians4:32
speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. -Ephesians5:19
submit to one another.-Ephesians5:21
spur one another on towards love and good deeds.-Hebrews10:24
I know it isn't always possible to do these things considering we are sinful being and we do make mistakes, but I believe with my whole heart we are supposed to strive to do these things...these things can shape our hearts to be much like God's heart.
