1 Korintinkoolu 5

Here are a couple of reminders for you about loving one another. Be inspired to go out and spread love to those around you.

1. 1 Corinthians 16:14 Let all that you do be done in love.

Love is at the very core of our faith. We shouldn’t love only at certain times. Everything we do should be done in love.

2. John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

Jesus sets the example for us. He loves us, despite our flaws and shortcomings. We are also called to love one another.

3. Romans 12:10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.

Christians are brothers and sisters as adopted children of God. Therefore, we are to love one another like we love our family.

4. Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works

You can set an example to people around you, by showing love. Inspire others to love and do good.

5. Matthew 5:43-44 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you

Jesus tells us that we should not limit our love to those who love us, but even those who persecute us. To love and pray for our enemy or persecutor is a challenge in loving one another.

6. Luke 6:31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

Don’t wait for others to do good and show love. Express your love by doing good first.

7. Matthew 22:39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

The greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. Jesus says that all the law and the prophets depend on these two.

The Bible encourages you to walk in God’s way and follow his commandments. It teaches that youth is a time for growing in faith and preparing for the future, rather than for a life of inconsistent frivolity.  

Here are some recommendations from God for you who want to grow in faith and wisdom, and live a life full of blessings and success according to the teachings of the Bible.

1. Respect your parents and authorities in general: “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.” (Exodus 20:12). 

2. Avoid bad influences and remain vigilant: “Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company ruins good morals.’”. (1 Corinthians 15:33)

3. Follow the way of wisdom and humility, being vigilant against evil: “Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.” (Proverbs 3:7)

4. Devote yourself to God and follow his teachings: “Honor the LORD with your substance and with the first fruits of all your produce;” (Proverbs 3:9)

5. To seek the truth and to be diligent in the study of the Holy Scriptures: “Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalms 119:105)

6. Avoid the devil’s temptations and snares, by remaining vigilant and prayerful: “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26:41)

7. Strive for purity of thought and deed: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8)
