Whoever loves God must also love his brother.—1 John 4:21.

 

Just as a doctor is able to get some information about the health of our heart when checking our pulse, we can get some information about the strength of our love for God by checking our love for others. If we notice that our love for fellow believers has weakened somewhat, this may indicate that our love for God is also growing weak. But when we regularly show love for fellow believers, this signals that our love for God is strong. We should be concerned if our love for our brothers and sisters is growing weak. Why? Because it would mean that we are in spiritual danger. The apostle John makes that clear when he reminds us: “The one who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.” (1 John 4:20) What is the lesson for us? Jehovah is pleased with us only if we “love one another.”—1 John 4:7-9, 11. w23.11 8 ¶3; 9 ¶5-6

I have been thinking about this text for today. It is clear that the relationship we have with our spiritual brothers has an impact on our spirituality.

 

Therefore, I was wondering, do I need to strengthen my love for my brothers in specific aspects?

 

Therefore, if anyone has an interesting article to share with material on the subject, I would be grateful.
