Summary

The Bible is clear—the evidence of our faith in Christ is seen in our love for others. 1 John 4:19-20 says, "If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen." In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge preaches through Romans 1:8-15 where the Apostle continues his salutation to the Roman Christians. In this passage, it becomes evident that Paul both loves and longs to be with other Christians. Is this desire true of you? Do you love and long to be with God's people? In this sermon, Paul's example becomes a helpful measuring rod against our own affections for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Let's look to Paul's words and see how we might find wisdom in strengthening our relationships with the brethren.

1:00.4	We learned that their apostleship was validated not by the eloquence of their words or
1:07.1	by the wisdom of their religious teachings or writings, but by the birth, life, death
1:13.5	and resurrection of the Messiah.
1:16.4	For this reason, we can, as a church, affirm, like the Nicene Creed says, we believe in one
1:24.0	holy universal and apostolic church.
1:28.5	That is that we believe in a church that is established on the doctrinal foundation of
1:34.0	the prophets, the twelve apostles, and Jesus Christ as the cornerstone.
