Romans 12:10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves.

When we get to know Jesus and place our trust in Him, we are said to be born into His family and gain a whole mass of brothers and sisters.

We do not choose these brothers and sisters. We do not choose who we have and who we can ignore. God has chosen us first of all and we are family.

If we are to act like a family then we ought to love each other and to prefer each other over those who choose not to be part of God’s family.

We should not turn our backs on others, but treat ALL Christians well!

Ephesians 3:8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ

Going by what Christ did and through words like these written by the Apostle, we should approach life in a similar way…

Not full of pride and boasting, not full of goals and aims, but humbly as a servant of our most high God in heaven, ready to give out the good news given to us by Christ.

Don’t hold back because other people are not the same as you but rather show them they are the same in Jesus’ eyes – a potential Christian!

Luke 2:7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

This is the way God found to come and live in a house on earth. He allowed His Son to come to earth and be born in Human form to live amongst us.

God became flesh so He could be here with us and show us how much He loves us.

Even then, His first day on earth was not in a nice house decorated for His birth, but in a stable alongside animals.

Even Jesus did not require a mansion to live in!

2 Chronicles 2:6 But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him? Who then am I to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?

Solomon realised he could never build a house to contain God. There is no way we can fit God into a house, no matter how big and grand it is.

Yet they continued to build the temple, not to put God in it, but to make the grandest place they could to give up their sacrifices to God.

It is all about giving glory to God and not trying to put Him in a pigeon hole so we can understand Him or control Him in some way!
