We are sometimes guilty of equating kindness and love with a warm feeling inside and miss the reality of true love being more a decision than it is a feeling. Today on the Sanctified by Truth broadcast we’ll be covering the term “Brotherly Kindness” as it’s found in II Peter chapter 1. This term not only stresses our obligation before God as our Father to be kind to others, but that those who are “in Christ” actually are our real family and we are to love them and treat them as such. Often this doesn’t happen because we don’t consider those sitting in the seats around us as our family because we have come to forget that we are adopted into God’s family by the gracious kindness of God toward us. If we would just consider who we’re dealing with, considering their needs, their feelings before we consider ours, we will be on-track to following what Peter was requiring of the Christians in the First Century.
