Apostle Paul was writing about love, humility and serving one another. But a genuine  or real encounter with Christ is the starting point of the life of service because it will  change our status from sinners to children of God and joint heirs with Jesus with all  the blessings.

Your security and significance, your unimaginable self-worth is rooted in this  encounter with Christ.

An ongoing daily encounter with Christ is necessary; we learn to converse with God in  prayer and in His word and relate with one another in fellowship. The Holy Spirit  begins to transform us from inside out as we follow Christ and experience His love. It  begins to affect how we relate to each other.

Apostle Paul’s four questions in verse 1 show what God expects of those who have  encountered Christ. What are your answers to them? Are you walking in love and unity,  humbly serving one another in your home church, your spouse, children, parent, etc.?

Are you desiring a change in your life, spouse, children, the family, etc.? Encounter  Christ personally, definitely and progressively; pray that they may encounter Christ, etc.
