Characteristics of the Disciples of Christ

 ”Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.“

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Now, this is the goal: to live in harmony with one another and demonstrate affectionate love, sympathy, and kindness toward other believers. Let humility describe who you are as you dearly love one another. Never retaliate when someone treats you wrongly, nor insult those who insult you, but instead, respond by speaking a blessing over them—because a blessing is what God promised to give you.  Every believer is blessed by God.  Our fellowship as believers who follow Christ is to have sublime harmony, demonstrating an affectionate brotherly love; having sympathy and kindness with humility; this fervent love never retaliates evil for evil or insult for insult but instead speaks blessings over those who mistreat us.  Relationship with the Holy Spirit helps us to walk in love that characterises our fellowship as disciples of Christ.  Amen!
