LESSONS LEARNED:
According to Jesus, we should love the Lord our God, with all our hearts, with all our might, and with all our strength.
The second commandment which is like the aforementioned, is to love our neighbors as ourselves.
We should love and do good works to our fellow men.
When our neighbors are hungry, we should give them food, when they're naked, we should give them clothes, when they're thirsty, we should give them drink, including our enemies.
Whatever we don't want others to do unto us, we shouldn't do to others, according to Matthew 7:12.
We should endeavour to live for others.
Many pack food and keep even when they don't need it yet, while their neighbours are hungry. We should be able to practice love for one another, giving out what we don't have need of at that particular time to one another.
Our God is faithful and would always make us to abound unto all good things.
Someone would always be raised to help us when we're in need, if we have one another.
As Christians, we should show mercy to fellow men.
We don't have to take an eye for an eye like the unbelievers.
If our brothers offends us, we should tell them of their offenses and then forgive them.
We should be merciful in order to obtain mercy from our God, according to Matthew 5:7.
We should practice forgiveness.
We should learn to for one another. It is when we forgive one another that our heavenly father would forgive us of our trespasses.
The only way we can practice forgiveness well is to dwell in love.
Love covers multitude of sins.
It is love that makes one to overlook another's offence.
As Christians, we shouldn't fill charges against another in the courts before unbelievers.
We should learn to resolve issues amicably.
FORMER BELIEF:
I had no contrary belief on this.
EFFECTS OF THE TEACHING:
The teaching would help encourage me to practice forgiveness even before an offense come, and to do good works.
Thanks be to God.

Thanks be to God for listening on our meeting.
MCGI Cares (Hive) community's main mission is to share the words of God, not the Hive upvotes. If we get upvotes, please treat it as just a bonus. Do not focus mainly on material things as the bible is teaching us not to look at things seen but rather focus our eyes on things not seen.
II CORINTHIANS 4:18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
