Affirmation or Recognition
Affirmation or Recognition
“Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.” Romans 15:7
Affirmation- to receive another for who they really are…not compared to a standard. Below are four ways to undergird another:
1. To love another without condition or pretense, unconditionally.
2. To meet another’s basic needs and to deal positively with their faults
3. To accept the other with all their differences.
4. To accept and receive another as well as walk with them in new situations
Often we say that one sign of Christian maturity is a growing sense of other-centeredness. We hope that as you think about the need for recognition and affirmation that everyone has you will be led to try to meet that need in others.
