The mark of a true Christian:
- Jn 13:34-35 All of us desire to be loved and appreciated. We love one another.
- Jn 14:7-11 If they have seen us, they have seen the Father.
- Jn 16:13-15 Trinity-there is unity, authority and submission. It must be the same in a Christian.
- Jn15:12-15 We go from being servants to friends of God. All friendship & relationship are progressive.
- 1 Jn 4:7-8 He who loves little has little love. God wants to fill us with His love. Just be hungry for it.
All relationships such as husband/wife, parents/children, church/pastors are fragile and must be guarded. How are relationships broken? Through hurts by the tongue:
- Js 3:3-12 The power of the tongue.
- Jer 17:9 All of us have a wicked streak. It is expressed through the tongue.
- Js 1:26 If we do not bridle/control our own tongues, we deceive our hearts.
- Prov 18:21 The power of our tongue is just like the power of a judge. It can sentence to death or give life. Many mental cases are a result of tongue abuse i.e. their own or someone close to them.
- Phil 4:8 Let us choose to see the good in others and also in every situation.
- Prov 12:18 The tongue can be sharp and hurtful. However, it can also promote well.
Use our tongue to promote health, build relationships.
