I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Ephesians 4:1-6
Be kind to one another. Simply love like God does. There is no room for anger, hatred, resentment, envy, greed or jealousy. Let us show the world that God is about love, compassion, truth and justice. So many "Christians" have turned off the world with their pompous holier than thou judgmental attitude. We are all sinners and we all fall short of Christ. Just because we may be saved and chose to follow Christ does not make us "better" than anyone else. What it does mean is we now have a responsibility to share the gospel of Jesus with others. But it must be done in a loving, honest and non confrontational way. Show love. Show God's love. Do not sit on a soapbox and look down on others. You and I were once lost too. We must remember that. Do not turn people off by your faith but instead attract them to it.
