bible reading - 1 John 5

I came across a quote this morning from Martyn Lloyd Jones that I wanted to share.

"Christian people are not merely a collection of individuals who may hold certain views in common and come together for certain purposes. Not at all! According to the New testament we are to realise we are brothers and sisters; we belong to the same Father; we are partakers of the same divine nature; we have this initmate relationship of blood, as it were, than which nothing can be deeper or stronger. So we must look at one another as brothers and sisters; this is a family relationship. And that, of course, leads in turn to this: we must be concerned about one another; we should be exercising a watchful care and interest in one another; we should have a real concern about one another."
