Conclusion: Some times we Christians butt heads and our personalities clash. We offer up our opinions and often say harsh things to each other. But so do we say harsh things to our own family, sometimes out of anger. But then two or three days later we embrace each other and go on with our family life. That happens. When we as Christians say harsh things to each other we need to embrace and be forgiving and then go on with our Christian life as well! Jesus was told one time His family were outside seeking Him. At that time He was preaching to a large crowd. He held up His hand and said, “These are my brothers and sisters and mothers.” So it is with us. Each and every one who have obeyed the gospel are bothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. We must love each other as such.

1Jo 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. (NKJV)
