A. Philippians 2:2 says that we should have the same love for all the saints. It is common for us to prefer certain saints over others. This shows that we do not love all the saints with an equal love.
问:我爱主,但我不能以同样的方式爱所有的信徒。圣经对于这个是怎么说的?

10) Q. Once we have a vital group, what else can we do to help one another?
