2 Thessalonians 3:1

Summary

Instruction on the principle of biblical loving discipline, or the importance of exercising "tough love" in the Christian community is given. Paul writes, "keep away from every brother who leads an unruly life." Though at first glance such a statement might seem judgmental and unloving, according to the Bible, taking a hard stance on biblical truth is one of the most loving things fellow Christians can do for one another. Those who follow God have a decision to make: will the body of Christ imitate the apathy of the postmodern world, or will we choose to love people, no matter the cost?
