“One Another”

Amidst a world of confusion and anger, the local New Testament church remains “the pillar and ground of the truth”. Churches are not buildings. The New Testament church has no walls. The New Testament church is a local assembly of baptized believers who have voluntarily joined themselves together to carry out the Great Commission. 

As the body of Christ on earth, there are certain things the Bible teaches us about how we should treat one another. Go through this list of verses and choose ones to memorize and meditate upon.

“…MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER”

“…LET US CONSIDER ONE ANOTHER”

Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

“SPEAK NOT EVIL ONE OF ANOTHER…”

James 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

“CONFESS YOUR FAULTS ONE TO ANOTHER…”

“…SAME MIND ONE TOWARD ANOTHER”

“…EXHORTING ONE ANOTHER”
