    Serve One Another in Love

    Bear One Another’s Burdens

    overtaken in a fault.

    Exhort One Another

    Build Up One Another

    Receive One Another

    Because we have been welcomed by Christ through no merit of our own, we will welcome other believers with open arms, showing likeminded devotion and selfless service to the glory of the God who transforms us.

    Forbearing and Forgiving One Another

    Colossians 3:12-14

    Express Genuine Love to One Another

    Romans 12:9-10, 15-16

    We will express genuine love to one another by devotion to good, family affection, eager honor, and likeminded compassion, rather than behaving in pride.

    Treat One Another as Friends and Family

    We will treat one another as the privileged members of God’s family that we are, rejoicing together, restoring and comforting one another, and being likeminded and peaceful with warm affection toward one another.
