Christians:Their responsiblities to one another and to the body at large
Posted : 23 Jul, 2011 10:20 AM
Hello everyone:
I will not be posting every single Scripture on this matter,
seeing that this is quite extensive.
These resopnsibilities are not just fot the so-called pastor,worship band,missionaries,or to the so called self appointed board/ bored members.
Many Christians do not know who they are in Yeshua.
Nor might they know the responsibilities said of them in the Scriptures.
First responsibilites to one another.
These are bourne from the relationship we have with one another,as brothers and sisters in Yeshua
1.Love one another
John 13:34 I give a new commandment to you, that you should love one another; according as I loved you, you should also love one another.
2.Forgiving one another
Eph_4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
3.Meeting the needs of others
Act 2:44 And all the believers were together and had all things common.
Act 2:45 And they sold possessions and goods and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
Act 2:46 And continuing steadfastly with one mind day by day in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they shared food in gladness and simplicity of heart,
4.sharing the Gospel with one another
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
5.Praying for one another
Jas_5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
6.Comforting/Drawing near to one another
2Co 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
2Co 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
7.putting others before myself/ourselves
Php 2:3 nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves--
Php 2:4 each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.
8.Exhorting one another
Heb 3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
9.Bearing with one another,also carrying their burdens
Gal 6:1 Brothers, if a man is overtaken in some deviation, you, the spiritual ones, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself, that you not also be tempted.
Gal 6:2 Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.
10.Show no favoritism to anoyone
Jas 2:1 My brothers, do not with partiality have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.
Jas 2:2 For if a gold-fingered man in splendid clothing comes into your synagogue, and a poor one in shabby clothing also comes in;
Jas 2:3 and you look on the one wearing the splendid clothing, and say to him, You sit here comfortably; and to the poor one you say, You stand there, or, Sit here under my footstool;
Jas 2:4 did you not also make a difference among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
Jas 2:5 Hear, my beloved brothers, did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to the ones loving Him?
Jas 2:6 But you dishonored the poor one. Do not the rich ones oppress you, and they drag you to judgment seats?
Jas 2:7 Do they not blaspheme the good Name called on you?
Responsiblities when the Believers assemble together.
1.Meet according to the Word of GOD,not according to how man wants you to meet.
All of 1st Corinthians chapters 11 - 14
As a royal priesthood,being strangers and aliens here we have the priviledge to seeing that the meeting of the Saints is according to the Scriptures.
If this is not happening,then we need to approach those that caues the body to be meeting in a sinful way.
Asking for change to occur according to Scripture.
In His Word,ABBA has given to man the way He expects to be Worthipped.
ABBA has not left this up for man to just arbitrarily do according to his/mans will.
Yeshua is the head of the Body.
Yeshua is the Good Shepherd of His own flock
Yeshua,protects and provides for His own,that which they may need.
Yeshua saves,NO one else and nothing else can and will ever save a man,woman,or child.
Please everyone,add to this as the Holy Spirit of GOD empowers you to write.

I had forgotten to mention.
The everyday,average Mr. and Mrs. or Ms. Christian,
they are responsible for the choosing of the Deacons,not the so-called clergy.
Act 6:2 And having called near the multitude of the disciples, the Twelve said, It is not pleasing to us, having left the Word of God, to serve tables!
Act 6:3 Then brothers, be looking for men among you receiving testimony, seven men full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint over this need.
