Lessons
The good congregation of God doesn't hate anyone at all, instead it loves and do good to all, even those who them them. If one can do good to his enemy, such will even do more to those who are not his enemies.
The sons of God are to be blamelesss and without fault in this crooked and perverse generation. As light we should not go off but continue to shine. Our manners of life speakea so much about us. Actions are very powerful, it is one of the ways which people judges us. If our lives are good , it will give light to those who are in darkness bringing them unto God. By our good conducts towards men, men will glorify God even if they hate us. But if our lives are the opposite, it will chase men away from God and paint the church of God black ( Philippians 2:14-16, 1 peter 2:12)
Even those who are not of God can be won through the good behavior of their spouse. Living as light will make men learn that there is God and follow that path . No matter how we try to hide, if our lives are carrying the light of God, it will surely be seen by men and they will appreciate God for it. Our lights as Christians ought to keep growing brighter and brighter in doing good to men. ( 1 peter 3:1, Mathew 5: 14-15)
If we put into action the commands of God, we will be doing good to men. If men don't see light in you, it means you are not obeying God's teachings. We should not make the name of God be blasphemed by men because of us. Our works shows who we really are. We can't say we are of God and the light is not being seen.
We should not condemn men but embrace them teach the way of God and help them to know him. Christianity is not condemnation but love.
Nevertheless those who are in the church and refused to change but continue in the bad manner of lives refusing to serve and obey God then the bible commands such to be expelled because they will mislead others with their lifestyle. ( 1 Corinthians 5:12, 1 Corinthians 15:33)
the church does not just expel men, they give him first and second admonition first, but if he or she doesn't still change, then such is expelled. If there is no discipline among the members of the church there won't be order and people will continue to practice evil in the church of God. (Titus 3:10)
It is very important for us for us to obey our parents. We must honor them and give them the respect that is due. True Christianity is not oppressive in nature and it recognizes the place of parents. Anyone who disrespects his/her parents will suffer the consequences (Proverbs 20:20)
If we are good and our lights are shining, we will be able to win souls from death unto God, thus, hiding multitude of sins. Winning souls from condemnation is one of the primary assignments of believers and it Please God a lot. One sinner who repents is much more important than many already repented souls . God doesn't want anyone to perish. If we persuade any sinner to come to God, God will be so delighted with us. (Proverbs 11:30, James 5:19-20 , Luke 15:7)
We should not join God's church because of material things, we should join God's church because of the truth and the the teachings of God not for money or mundane things . It should be because we are convinced by the light in the word of God we received through his teachings.
