Respect everyone, and love the family of believers. --1 Peter 2:17 (NLT)

--1 John 4:20-21 (NLT) If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers. --1 John 4:20-21 (NLT)

3 ways God is calling us to love him by loving one another… 1. Choose to belong

--Ephesians 4:15-16 (NLT) We will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. --Ephesians 4:15-16 (NLT)

And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved. --Acts 2:42-47 (NLT)
