We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Here's how we know we've moved from death to real life — we actually love other believers. If you can't love your fellow Christians, you're still stuck in spiritual death.

Love for others is proof you're actually alive in God.

1 Timothy 6:2

If you're working for someone who's also a believer, don't think that gives you permission to slack off or be disrespectful just because you're both Christians. Actually, work even harder for them because they're your family in faith and they genuinely care about you. Both of you benefit when you show up with excellence. Paul's telling Timothy — make sure you teach this stuff and really drive it home.
