1 Thessalonians 4:9. Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
1 Thessalonians 4:9. Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.
How is God teaching us to love? By our union with Christ. By the indwelling Holy Spirit who pours God’s love into our hearts.
“To live is Christ” tells us two important truths about our love. It is a brotherly love. It should feel normal and natural to love others. Love is born into us. And it is also being “taught to us” by God himself. The Holy Spirit. Christ in us. The Trinity’s love for one another teaching us what our love can and should look like in our churches, homes, communities, and beyond.
