“...things written aforetime...one mind…”

Blessings Folk!!

We saw earlier that we are to have “one mind” as the Body of Christ.
Read the following to learn more…

Rom 15:1-7
15 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

KJV

How do we walk in one mind?

  • Receive the empowerment from God for patience and consolation. The Lord provides what we need.
  • Bear the infirmities of the weak
  • Seek not to please ourselves
  • Please our neighbors...do what is edifying for them
  • View Christ as our example
  • Give heed to the Word of God. The “whatsoever things were written aforetime” refers to the Word of God. The Scripture was written for our learning. Through the Word of God we will have hope.
  • Patience from the Word.
  • Comfort from the Word.

God has given us His Word and His Presence that we might be of one mind...that we might glorify Him with one mouth.

We are to walk with one another in this manner...as Christ does with us...to the glory of God.

Let us do so!!
