7. What is the divine quality that binds us together? 1 Corinthians 12:25.
NOTE: ‘No matter how high the profession, he whose heart is not filled with love for God and his fellow men is not a true disciple of Christ. Though he should possess great faith and have power even to work miracles, yet without love his faith would be worthless. He might display great liberality; but should he, from some other motive than genuine love, bestow all his goods to feed the poor, the act would not commend him to the favour of God. In his zeal he might even meet a martyr’s death, yet if not actuated by love, he would be regarded by God as a deluded enthusiast or an ambitious hypocrite.’ Acts of the Apostles, page 318.
8. How do we grow up into Jesus Christ, the head of the church? Ephesians 4:15-16.
NOTE: ‘Are there not many who are ... like a chestnut bur, hurting those with whom they come in contact? ... Those who represent Christ will not speak harshly. Their words will be pleasant and helpful. “Speaking the truth in love,” we “grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.”’ In Heavenly Places, page 321.
