But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
– Hebrews 3:13
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
This article tells us to cherish this time, to love and support one another. When brothers and sisters live in sin, we should give them timely help and exhortation in case they are bounded by sin, relish that sin, fall into Satan’s temptation, and stray from God. So, true love for one another among brothers and sisters is not merely to maintain fleshly relationships and interests, but most importantly is to supply and support them in spirit. Especially when we notice that some brothers and sisters follow the evil trend, go their own path and stray from God, we can remind, exhort them with a loving heart, and deal with or prune them when necessary so that they can understand God’s will and turn around in time. Only such is true love for one another. Only such kind of relationship between brothers and sisters is normal. Just as God says, “These relationships aren’t established on the flesh, but on the foundation of God’s love. There are almost no interactions based on the flesh, but in the spirit there is fellowship as well as love, comfort, and provision for one another.”
