Brotherly Kindness Loving Believers Like Family 1 Peter 3:8

True Success Facing every area of my life with the Power of the Person of Jesus Christ in Me Faith Virtue Knowledge Temperance Patience Godliness Brotherly Kindness Charity God Sin Uncertainty Self Promises of God World Believers Everyone Jesus in Me

What is “Brotherly Kindness”? A Uniquely Christian Concept (John 13:34) Definitely Not Easy to Be (Hebrews 13:1) Proof that You Are a Christian (1John 3:14,18,19) More than just being “nice”: –Kind, tender, sacrificial over-all (1John 3:16) –Yet, straight-up, direct, correcting (Galatians 4:16; Ephesians 4:15) –Always because you are looking out for a member of the family (Proverbs 27:6) –That’s God’s kind of kindness (Psalm 141:5; Isaiah 54:8,10)

What is a Christian Without Brotherly Kindness? Alone - Without brotherly kindness in our words, and relationships, a person may be saved, but will end up not an active part of the new family that God placed them in (Eph 2:19) Angry, Cruel, Vengeful –It is the natural replacement of kindness –May be knowledgeable of the Bible, but harsh, and cruel, spiteful, vengeful – not aware that God commands us to treat each other with great care! Anti-christ – ends up working against the work of Christ in people’s lives, and in their own (1Pet 2:21-25)

Example of Brotherly Kindness - Joseph towards his Brothers Genesis Background Abraham has Isaac, who has Jacob, then comes twelve brothers! Joseph was favoured by Daddy Jealousy ruins their home Joseph is gone! Believed to be dead! 13 years later, Joseph made Prince Then, here comes the brothers! After 22 years How will Joseph React to his Brothers after 22 years?

Example of Brotherly Kindness - Joseph towards his Brothers Genesis 42:3-8 Loved them still Left off the past Learned them their lesson – was “rough” with them “for a season” but with kindness in the background through it all Let them stew, and think things through Lent them a hand - Took care of them – blessed them Loved them openly, and fervently Lessons to Learn - How will Joseph React to his Brothers after 22 years?

How Does this all Apply to a Church, and to Christians? We are in a big family now Envy (evil imagination even in Christians) still hurts and abuses people How we REACT is far more important to God than how we are treated Is God “with us?” Does God have a plan for each of us? Can we be a blessing anyway? Ephesians 4:30,31 is still a direct command in the Bible!

Nurturing Brotherly Kindness in Myself, AND in Others Accept it From God – He is VERY kind towards you!!! Very gentle! Do things NOT because someone is WORTHY, but because they are FAMILY Show kindness with FERVENCY – it will grow on you! Ask God to help you take this step
