Bearing With One Another In Love

[Pilgrim]

Ephesians 4:2-3 (KJV)
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

LORD, mold our spirits in the likeness of Christ Jesus. Create within us a meekness of spirit such that we accept God’s dealings with us without disputing and resisting; and also patiently accept the injuries done us by others, with an understanding they are permitted within God's plan for the chastening and purifying of His people. God's will be done. In Jesus' name. Amen.

I think this goes hand in hand with what is written in Romans 15, 1-7 too:

"We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.


For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.


For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.


Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:


That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.


Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God."

Galatians 6:1 (KJV)
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

LORD, our redeemer, who is sovereign over all of life. Praise Jesus for restoring us to God when we fall into temptation. Soften our heart that we can receive His Word; and help us be sensitive to the Spirit’s leadership in our life. Bless us with humble spirit to recognize, mourn, and turn from sin. God, bless us with your grace to walk with, be led by, and to remain in step with the Holy Spirit; and that we are characterized by the fruit of the Spirit. God, humble us and give us grace as we seek to love others and bear their burdens. Deepen our Christian friendships so that biblical accountability will become a natural part of our life. May the Holy Spirit work in and through the preaching of His Word and many people would turn from sin and trust in Christ. In the power of the Holy Spirit. God's will be done. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Unity And Maturity In The Body of Christ

The Goal
Our Calling In Christ

1 As a prisoner for the LORD, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. —Ephesians 4:1

The Means
Our Life In The Spirit

2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. —Ephesians 4:2-3

The Reason
Our Oneness In God

4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one LORD, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. —Ephesians 4:4-6
