Webster's 1828 Dictionary defines EDIFICATION as "A BUILDING UP, IN A MORAL AND RELIGIOUS SENSE; INSTRUCTION; IMPROVEMENT AND PROGRESS OF THE MIND, IN KNOWLEDGE, IN MORALS, OR IN FAITH AND HOLINESS.
2Tim 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. • 2Tim 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; • 2Tim 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Jn 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. • Jn 13:35By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
LOVE REQUIRES EFFORT • LOVE CAN BE PAINFUL WHEN DEALING WITH ERRORS WITHIN A CONGREGATION OR WITH AN INDIVIDUAL • LOVE CAN BE COSTLY IF YOU TRULY WANT TO HELP ANOTHER • LOVE CAN AND OFTEN DOES REQUIRE SACRIFICE
