Holy Habits: Brotherly Love

John Piper said, “Loving one another is not optional in the Christian life. It is the evidence of it.” This is where all our spiritual growth leads. The holy habits of 2 Peter 1 begin with faith and end with love. That journey transforms our character – and then overflows into our relationships. That’s where brotherly kindness comes in. Four truths about brotherly kindness that will help us see how important it is:

1.      Brotherly kindness starts at the __________.

2.      Brotherly kindness doesn’t __________; it covers.

3.      Brotherly kindness is or new ________________.

4.      Brotherly kindness follows the __________ of Jesus.

What would happen in our lives if brotherly kindness ruled our relationships? If people didn’t just feel welcomed—but carried, forgiven, pursued, and honored? That’s the kind of love Jesus died for—and it’s the kind of love that makes the gospel visible.
