1 John 3:16-20

"We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren"

What an intimidating verse. God laid down his son's life for you, so lay down yours for your brothers. Our lives are not our own, so who are we to decide who to do with them? Our lives are for the purpose of glorifying God. After all, he is the creator. We glorify him by loving others. How can we claim to love others if we shut others out? With God's love in us, we will spread it sincerely not only in word, but in deed.
