Have Salt in Yourself and Have Peace With One Another

God has done amazing things among us recently by allowing His word to find an abundant entrance in many places. He has added to the church those who have allowed themselves to be saved. As the numbers grow daily, so does the responsibility of those who have been a part of the work from the beginning. Those who are helping in the work are obligated not only to have an appearance of being part of it, they must also put their whole heart into it for the furtherance of God’s kingdom. If we all seek God’s honor, everything will go very well; and we must do this now if God’s work is to succeed.

We must remember that we are one body and that no internal strife is tolerated there. Such things spread like poison throughout the entire body. We have heard and seen so much of God’s blessed knowledge that such reminders should be unnecessary. Nevertheless, it is clear that they are necessary.

Our fellowship is in the Spirit, and the Spirit is sensitive. If we get a splinter and do not remove it right away, it will become infected and will be pushed out on its own. In the same way, all evil will receive its judgment and will be pushed out of this spiritual body in which we have been placed.

But why not rather do our part, each and every one of us, to make sure that the body is healthy, so that as members we can serve and bring joy to one another?

Over the course of time, we have experienced a great deal of spiritual pain because of evil that has sought to gain control. In the future, it will not be tolerated within the area of work that God, by His Spirit, has given us.

It should be mentioned that we have not formed a new church. Our fellowship is based solely on our love in the Spirit. Therefore, we have nothing to hold onto if everything does not function as it ought to, through the inner help that God provides, resulting in honor unto God and benefit for the church.

Jesus once asked His disciples, “Do you also want to go away?” Peter answered, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”

Where shall we go if we turn away from such a great grace?

Ponder this question in your own heart.

“Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money, holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.” 1 Tim. 3:8-9.
