1 John 5:16-17

C. The Consequences of Brotherly Love 5:16-17

Although as believers in Jesus Christ we have every right and obligation to be concerned about our own obedience, we cannot truly love our brethren unless we have concern for their obedience too. Prayer according to God’s will is not only a resource for us so we can love one another, but prayer is also a resource whereby we can obtain help for our brethren.
