When it comes to relationships within the body of Christ, the key word is “love,” specifically brotherly love. We must love each other as brothers and sisters in the family of God. When it comes to relationships outside the body of Christ, the key word is “respect.” We must live in such a way so as to earn the respect of non-believers. 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12. Pastor Liz Green
