Lesson 14: The Importance of Boundaries
Embedded Files
Hi AY Family,
Don’t think that it is okay for you to say that you love God, but you do not accept someone for who they are, whether it is because of the way they look, their skin color, where they come from, or even their disability.
If we say that we love God, then we should love other people regardless of who they are.
1 John 4:20-21 says: “If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.”
God does not want us to judge each other.
Romans 2:1-3 says: “Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?”
Mark 9:33-37 talks about true discipleship.
It says: “And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.”
What kind of social boundaries have you set for yourself?
Sincerely,
Samuel Reid
