Hate not your brother, if you love God

1 John 4:20 - If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

The Lord dwells in His Temple. This Temple or Church is in the gathering of His people. This Temple is also in each and every individual who is part of the greater Temple. When we look into the eyes of a believer we will surely find the presence of God. Although it may be small or big, it will be there. When we get this truth into our system it will be very difficult to look into the eyes of any believer and say 'I hate you'.

Let us understand this every time without thinking we hate another believer.


[ Prayer Starter ]
Lord, forgive me for the times I have hated my fellow believer. In ignorance I have hated your Temple. Lord, help me to overcome my anger and do not let me loose control of my thinking because of it. I make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others. (All rights are with God)
