"One Another" Commands Introduction

The New Testament is full of “one another” commands. It is clear from these commands that as Christians we have a responsibility to each other. We cannot just concern ourselves with our own spiritual growth and neglect each other. Our growth in Christ is connected to our relationships with each other. I will not just give account for how I live my life; I will also give account for my role in the lives of those Christians whom I have been put in fellowship with in the local church.

God did not just save us to live our own individualistic lives. He saved us and put us in community with one another. It is time that we take seriously these “one another” commands.

So, over the next few months I will be exploring these commands here on the blog. Whenever time allows, I will post my thoughts and practical suggestions as to how we can actually obey these commands. I will need your help along the way. Let’s explore together ways in which we can obey God and fulfill our responsibilities to each other.

My goal is that our commitment to the local church would flourish. I’m praying that our churches will be stronger because of our obedience to these “one another” commands.

Begin to notice how many times in the NT we are commanded to, “love one another,” “forgive one another,” “greet one another,” “stimulate one another,” “confess your sins to one another,” etc.
