(Mark 3:31-35) . . .Now his mother and his brothers came, and, as they were standing
on the outside, they sent in to him to call him. As it was, a crowd was sitting around
him, so they said to him: “Look! Your mother and your brothers outside are seeking
you.” But in reply he said to them: “Who are my mother and my brothers?” And
having looked about upon those sitting around him in a circle, he said: “See, my
mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God, this one is my brother and
sister and mother.”
What is the will of God and how does one do it? for in determining this, we can really
determine who our Christian brothers and sisters really are.

Is Christianity some sort of club where we need to pass the codeword along to gain admittance? Would you really presume to judge your Christian brothers?

sisters, when in fact, Christ himself states that those who are brothers and sisters are
the ones doing the will of the father. That is why.
Originally posted by SuzianneFirst of all there are two parts to this question ,
Or that we obey His commandments to love God and man.
1. What is the will of God
2. How does one do the will of God.
Are the commandments the will of God? if that is the case what commandments are we
taking about? To Love God and ones neighbour as ones self? ok, so how does one
demonstrate this love?
