“Let brotherly love continue.” It doesn’t mean, friends, that believers are to love like brothers. They are to love because they are brothers. Now if you’re a child of God, you’re my brother. You’re my sister. And we’re in the same family. Maybe you don’t want to be in my family, but you’re in my family. And we love each other. May I say to you this is something that’s real. The Christian life can be put like a triangle. At the top, you can put God. At one side, you can put yourself. On the other you can put “others.” And it is “faith and love” toward God, and it’s “love” toward others. That’s the way we manifest it. “Let brother love continue.”

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
