Christian Life

Bible Portion : Romans: 12: 9-21

Christian life is all about showing Christ's love to others. In what ways can we show His love practically?

First, we need to have brotherly love towards one another (verse 10). We need to bear each other's burdens, and be concerned about others' wellbeing. If a brother/sister is unwell, or having problems, we need to encourage them and pray for them, until things become normal again.

Second, rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those who mourn (verse 15). Mourning with those who're mourning is comparatively easy, than rejoicing with those who are rejoicing! For example, when a neighbour buys a new thing (like a television, a bike, a car, ...), do we rejoice with them, or envy them because we don't have what they bought? When someone in the workplace gets a promotion, do we rejoice with them, or feel bad about not getting a promotion ourselves? As followers of Christ, we should not be envious, but rejoice with others in their times of happiness.
