How To Live Faithfully - Brotherly Kindness 如何忠實地生活－愛弟兄

-

 

From: TFTW Bible College

The love we have for each other needs to be continuous. “Let brotherly love continue.” (Hebrews 13:1)

Heb 13:1  你們務要常存弟兄相愛的心。


How can we practice brotherly kindness?

我們如何實踐愛弟兄？


  • See each member of the body as equal and loved by God. 
看教會的每個成員都是平等的，都是被神所愛的。

  • Do good to each other when you have an opportunity.  “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” (Galatians 6:10) 
有機會的時候互相善待。

Gal 6:10  所以，有了機會就當向眾人行善，向信徒一家的人更當這樣。


  • Comfort and build each other up. “Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11) If we are busy building each other up we won’t have time to tear each other down with gossip and backbiting and complaining. 
安慰和建立彼此。

1Th 5:11  所以，你們該彼此勸慰，互相建立，正如你們素常所行的。



  • Provoke, or urge each other, to love each other and do good deeds. “And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:” (Hebrews 10:24)
互相激勵或敦促，彼此相愛，行善。

Heb 10:24  又要彼此相顧，激發愛心，勉勵行善。


  • Forbear, or simply put up with, each other. Just because we are all Christians in the body doesn’t mean that our personalities automatically get along with each other. Patience and forbearance are needed. “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;” (Ephesians 4:1-2)
互相忍耐，或者簡單地忍受對方。
僅僅因為我們都是教會中的基督徒，並不意味著我們的個性會自動合得來。 需要耐心和忍耐。

Eph 4:1  我為主被囚的勸你們：既然蒙召，行事為人就當與蒙召的恩相稱。

Eph 4:2  凡事謙虛、溫柔、忍耐，用愛心互相寬容，


  • Be merciful and forgiving. Just because we are Christians doesn’t mean we are perfect. Just as God was merciful and forgiving to us, we need to be merciful and ready to forgive our fellow Christians. “Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.” (Colossians 3:13) “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32) “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” (James 5:16)
要仁慈和寬恕。
僅僅因為我們是基督徒並不意味著我們是完美的。 正如神對我們仁慈和寬恕一樣，我們需要仁慈並準備原諒我們的基督徒同胞。

Col 3:13  倘若這人與那人有嫌隙，總要彼此包容，彼此饒恕；主怎樣饒恕了你們，你們也要怎樣饒恕人。

Jas 5:16  所以你們要彼此認罪，互相代求，使你們可以得醫治。義人祈禱所發的力量是大有功效的。

Subject: "Should I Forgive A Brother Who Won't Repent?" Speaker: Don Blackwell Scripture: Luke 17:1-3 Website: https://www.willowcofc.net/ Willow Avenue Church of Christ Video: https://www.youtube.com/live/G0CwQfl3YMo?si=Y5PyqjXAxuOiTVX8 Then Peter came to Jesus, and he said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him.  Up to seven times? Jesus said to him, I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to 70 times seven.  (Mt 18:21-22). Brethren, I want to suggest to you this morning that questions about forgiving a brother who has sinned against you is not a new thing. They existed even when the Lord was on this earth. And they are troubling enough that one of the apostles felt the need to come and ask Jesus directly about it. How frequently should I forgive my brother? I mean, my patience runs out sometimes. I mean, sometimes enough is enough. Where do I draw the line? Peter said, is seven times enough? You know, I've got the idea that Peter...

Together: Forgive One Another

From:  Brent Kercheville - West Palm Beach church of Christ False Understanding of Forgiveness In our culture, forgiveness is a unilateral internal effort to get my own emotions under control. It is a therapeutic view of forgiveness. Forgiveness is about me. We see this in the way the word “forgiveness” is used. For example, we will hear people say that you need to forgive yourself. This does not make sense using the word biblically. The scriptures never say to forgive yourself. But what people mean about forgiving yourself is this unilateral internal effort to get your own emotions under control and move yourself to some sort of happy place. This is not a biblical view but you can see why there is confusion when we discuss forgiveness from a biblical basis.  Another example of this misunderstanding of forgiveness is that you will hear people say that they have forgiven God or cannot forgive God. This is also nonsensical and ultimately blasphemous since God cannot do wrong and...
