The Christian Life: Brotherly Love

As I was doing my devotions this morning, I came across this verse: "Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another" (1 Thes 4:9). What an incredible commendation! Paul didn't need to tell them how to love one another because they were already doing it so well! Compare this to ...
