THE ACT OF REFRESHING FOR
OTHER BRETHREN IN CHRIST.
*
Paginhawahin ang kapatid kay Cristo.
Romans 15:32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and
may with you be refreshed.
Intro: One of
the most important aspects of the Christian life is the positive effect that we
can have on other believers.
This concept
is repeated throughout the Word of God.
No man liveth
to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
If you are
refreshing to others, it is most likely done on purpose.
Not to say
that some people are refreshing to be around and they don’t even realize it.
But that is
because they have developed a relationship with God and others that makes it
look easy.
* ( Romans 16:1-6 ) 1 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of
the church which is at Cenchrea:
2 That ye receive her in the Lord,
as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need
of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.
3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my
helpers in Christ Jesus:
4 Who have for my life laid down
their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of
the Gentiles.
5 Likewise greet the church that is
in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of
Achaia unto Christ.
6 Greet Mary, who bestowed much
labour on us.

once and again unto my necessity.
17 Not because I desire a gift: but
I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
18 But I have all, and abound: I am
full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an
odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

you all always *
