Would you turn, please, in the scriptures, to First Thessalonians, the fourth chapter.

First Thessalonians, four, and nine.

First Thessalonians four, nine.

He said, as touching brotherly love, you need not that I write to you, for you

yourselves are taught of God to love one another. Everybody said out loud, taught of God,

to love one another. He went on to say, indeed, you do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonium.

But we beseech you, brethren, that you increase more and more.

He said, you're doing it, but do it more.

What?

Do what more?

Love one another.

The New Living Bible in the ninth verse says,

God himself has taught you to love one another.

God himself has taught you.

Well, he is love. And there is no better teacher on love than love.

So, well, who taught you how to love? Love himself. I was taught by the best. Right?

Regarding life together and getting along, the message says, you are God taught in these matters.

Verse 10, you're already good at it.

Your friends all over the prophets of Macedonia are the evidence.

Keep it up.

Get better and better at it.

And I know when the Lord led me about teaching on this in the church, that's the sense that I had, you're already doing this in a measure.
