There are about 50 "one another" texts in the New Testament, and several are repeats of others. So when you sift them out into groups, there are about 30 distinct one another commands. By far, the most repeated and thus perhaps the most important, is the directive to "love one another." One well loved example is 1 John 4:7 – "Beloved, let us love one another, for love if from God…." But love can easier to say, and maybe even explain, that it can be to do! So how do you …"love one another"?
We can find some help here in the first verses of the last chapter of Hebrews; consider verses one through seven.
It's true! Our study of Hebrews has drilled down deep into a gold mine of gospel doctrine! But as we begin to wrap-up our study of Hebrews, we are again reminded that the Christian life is built on what you believe (chapters 1-10), but it's proved by how you live. And the greatest fruit of real faith in the real truth may be real love! So let's consider that from Hebrews chapter 13:
Six directives to love the brethren every day in every place. (Part 1:) 1. Hear the command (v.1) 2. Love the stranger (v.2) 3. Remember the prisoner (v.3) (Part 2:) 4. Honor your marriage (v.4) 5. Cultivate contentment (vv.5-6) 6. Consider your leaders (v.7)
