16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send greetings. 17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. 19 Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil. 20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. 21 Timothy, my co-worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius, Jason and Sosipater, my fellow Jews. 22 I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord. 23 Gaius, whose hospitality I and the whole church here enjoy, sends you his greetings. Erastus, who is the city’s director of public works, and our brother Quartus send you their greetings. (24) 25 Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, 26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from faith— 27 to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen. (Romans 16:16-27) Relationships are important in the body of Christ. But they are not more important than truth itself. Although we must promote relationships in the church, we must only do so in obedience to the truth. In other words, truth creates the relationship and not the other way around. We must not compromise the truth for the sake of our relationships. Our unity must come from our faithfulness to the Gospel, not just our relationships with each other. #churchonline #digical #rlccphil Choose your place of grace - https://solo.to/rlccphil Discuss this in your small group - https://rlcc.ph/devotional/ Ask for prayer- https://m.me/rlccphil Send your giving - https://join.rlcc.ph/giving Take the next step - https://bit.ly/3mJy44F Main Idea: “Our unity must come from our faithfulness to the Gospel.” (“Ang pagkakaisa natin ay dapat magmula sa ating katapatan sa Ebanghelyo.”) How can we experience true unity? Two Important Ways 1. By being united against false teaching (16-20). 2. By being united because of the Gospel (21-27). ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jep5TxCWybE

#churchonline #digical #rlccphil Most Christians are content just to listen to sermons every Sunday. Thank God some are willing to step up to belong to a small group and become more like Christ by going through spiritual formation together with others. However, not many are willing to take the next step, which is to help build the body of Christ. Spiritual formation is not an end in itself. God wants us to be transformed for the sake of others. He wants us to be involved in ministry, whether as workers or as leaders, so that the body of Christ may be built up in love toward spiritual maturity.
