Romans - 12:18 - If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Leviticus - 19:15-18. . . . you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD.
Social Holiness - Holiness is essentially social for very basic reasons, God is social, the personal tri - unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Holiness concerns the God - ordained relationships among people, God, and land, our environment for serving God.
John Wesley 's emphasis on the social nature of holiness is one of his key insights. He famously writes in the preface to Hymns and Sacred Poems; "The gospel of Christ knows of no religion, but social; no holiness but social holiness, 'Faith working love' is the length and breadth and depth and height of Christian perfection."
When people ask you what religion are you? or What church do you attend? My answer will be, "I don't have any religion, but I do have Jesus".
When you visit with others / witness to others - Ask them; "Do you know Jesus? Is He your friend? Do you have a personal relationship with Him?" Then share your faith and tell them about your relationship with Jesus!
Remember God loves you and so do I!
