LIVING AS CHRISTIANS

Love Identifies True Christians​—Protect Precious Unity

Love Identifies True Christians​—Protect Precious Unity

WHY IMPORTANT: On the night before his death, Jesus prayed that his disciples would “be completely unified.” (Joh 17:23, ftn.) To remain united, we must display love, which “does not keep account of the injury.”​—1Co 13:5.

HOW TO DO IT:

  • Imitate Jehovah by looking for the good in others

  • Forgive freely

  • After resolving a matter, do not bring it up again.​—Pr 17:9

WATCH THE VIDEO “HAVE LOVE AMONG YOURSELVES”​—DO NOT KEEP ACCOUNT OF THE INJURY, AND THEN ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

  • In the first part of the video, how did Helen indicate that she was ‘keeping account of the injury’?

  • In the second part of the video, how did Helen overcome her negative thinking and develop a positive viewpoint?

  • Ultimately, how did Helen add to the unity of the congregation?

Whom do we hurt the most if we keep account of the injury?
