Values
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Luke 6:35
​
Voluntary mutual submission
We see voluntary mutual submission modeled in the life of Jesus in
John 13:5-10 (who made himself a servant to his own followers) and
made explicit by Paul in Ephesians 5:21.
ORDER
From Genesis to Revelation, we see that God is a God of order, not
confusion. Paul’s instruction in 1 Corinthians 14:40 and 12:16 is that
“Everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way....Live in
harmony with one another;”
UNITY
Our God is one, and he is Lord of all. Christ is not divided and neither
should his church be divided (Ephesians 4:4-6 and 1 Corinthians 1:13);
LOVE
In John 13:34-35 Jesus commanded his followers to love one another
and Paul affirms it in Romans 12:10.
