爱你在基督里的弟兄姊妹
爱弟兄的就是住在光明中，在他并没有绊跌的缘由（约翰一书2:10）。【希腊文中的“弟兄姊妹（弟兄）”是指主耶稣的跟从者，不论男女，同为上帝的家人；约翰一书3:10也说：从此就显出谁是 神的儿女、谁是魔鬼的儿女。凡不行义的，就不属 神，不爱弟兄的也是如此；4:20-21人若说我爱 神，却恨他的弟兄，就是说谎话的。不爱他所看见的弟兄，就不能爱没有看见的 神。爱 神的，也当爱弟兄，这是我们从 神所受的命令】
亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，无论什么时候，只要你发现自己跌倒在失败或罪里，那么你首先要省察自己爱的生命。谦卑地来到上帝跟前，求祂使你明白，你是否与人不和或心怀怨气。若你有这种情况，那么魔鬼就会趁虚而入，将你绊倒。
身为传道士，我无数次地看到这样的事情发生。我传讲真道，可是有些基督徒听后会心生怨恨，于是他判定我讲的是错，然后恼怒而去。首先的问题你要明白，对主内弟兄怀怨，这本身就使他陷入困境之中了。
马可福音4:16-17【那撒在石头地上的（表面的基督徒），就是人听了道立刻欢喜领受。但他心里没有根，不过是暂时的，及至为道遭了患难或是受了逼迫，立刻就跌倒了】告诉我们，魔鬼正是利用弟兄间的恼怒不和来窃取我们的心离开上帝的话语，使我们与弟兄彼此怀怨，然后他就能拔出我们心里的塞子，使上帝的话语从我们的生命中流尽，就像水从水桶中流尽一样。
永远不要让这些事发生在你的身上，如果一个牧师或基督徒的传道令你听后感到不快，有被得罪的感觉，那么你就要抓住这个被得罪的感觉，坚确地说：“撒旦，你决不能窃取我的心离开上帝的话语，你是说谎的魔鬼。”然后，俯伏于地，向上帝认罪。
寻求上帝的话语，并且听从你里面的圣灵，当遇到类似的情况时，你就会懂得该怎样做。如果你一直感觉那个人的讲道是错的，那你就为他祷告。
记住，怀怨决不是由上帝而来的，上帝说我们要在爱里根深蒂固。所以，拒绝心怀怨恨，以爱心为得罪你的弟兄祷告，那么你就能平安通过这些境况而决不会跌倒。
研经：约翰一书2:1-11
2:1 我小子们哪，我将这些话写给你们，是要叫你们不犯罪。若有人犯罪，在父那里我们有一位中保，就是那义者耶稣基督。
2:2 祂为我们的罪作了挽回祭，不是单为我们的罪，也是为普天下人的罪。
2:3 我们若遵守祂的诫命，就晓得是认识祂。
2:4 人若说我认识祂，却不遵守祂的诫命，便是说谎话的，真理也不在他心里了。
2:5 凡遵守主道的，爱 神的心在他里面实在是完全的，从此我们知道我们是在主里面。
2:6 人若说他住在主里面，就该自己照主所行的去行。
2:7 亲爱的弟兄阿，我写给你们的不是一条新命令，乃是你们从起初所受的旧命令，这旧命令就是你们所听见的道。
2:8 再者，我写给你们的是一条新命令，在主是真的，在你们也是真的。因为黑暗渐渐过去，真光已经照耀。
2:9 人若说自己在光明中，却恨他的弟兄，他到如今还是在黑暗里。
2:10 爱弟兄的就是住在光明中，在他并没有绊跌的缘由。
2:11 惟独恨弟兄的是在黑暗里，且在黑暗里行，也不知道往那里去，因为黑暗叫他眼睛瞎了。
Love Your Brothers and Sisters in CHRIST
1 John 2:10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. [The Greek word for brother and sister (adelphos) refers here to a follower of JESUS, whether man or woman, as part of GOD’s family; also in 1 John 3:10 This is how we know who the children of GOD are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not GOD’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister. ; 1 John 4: 20 Whoever claims to love GOD yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love GOD, whom they have not seen. 21 And HE has given us this command: Anyone who loves GOD must also love their brother and sister.]
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Whenever you find yourself stumbling into failure or sin, check your love life. Humbly come before the LORD and ask HIM to show you if you're in strife with anyone or if you've taken offense. If you have, the devil can come in and trip you up.
As a preacher, I've seen that happen countless times. I'll be preaching about something and some believer will get upset with me about it. He'll decide I'm wrong and go off in a huff--and first thing you know, he's in trouble.
Mark 4:16-17 (16 Others [superficial Christians], like seed sown on rocky places, hear the WORD and at once receive it with joy. 17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the WORD, they quickly fall away.) tell us the devil uses those kinds of offenses to steal the WORD from our hearts. He causes us to get crosswise with each other. Then he's able to pull the plug right out of us and drain the WORD like water from a bucket.
Don't ever let that happen to you. If you hear a preacher or another believer saying something that rubs you the wrong way and you catch yourself getting offended say, "Oh no you (Satan) don't. You're not stealing the WORD of GOD out of me, you lying devil." Then get right down on your knees and repent before GOD.
Search the WORD and listen to the SPIRIT within you and find out what you should do. If you still feel what that person said to you was wrong, pray for him.
Remember, taking offense never comes from GOD. HE says we're to be rooted and grounded in love. So reject those feelings of offense. Give yourself to that person in love and in prayer. You'll be able to walk right on through that situation without ever stumbling at all.

Scripture Study: 1 John 2:1-11
2:1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the FATHER—JESUS CHRIST, the RIGHTEOUS ONE. 2 HE is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
Love and Hatred for Fellow Believers
3 We know that we have come to know HIM if we keep HIS commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know HIM,” but does not do what HE commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But if anyone obeys HIS WORD, love for GOD is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in HIM: 6 Whoever claims to live in HIM must live as JESUS did.
7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in HIM and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.
9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. 10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. 11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.
