1 Timothy 3:15.
But if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

Apostle Paul in his writings reaches us to be conscious of the times and seasons that should precede the coming of the Lord. He wrote that we should know perfectly that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. He added, when they say peace and safety! then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 1 thess. 5:3

For this reason the believer should not sleep but be watchful and sober. He therefore instructed and exhorted the church to do the following as a guide on how to conduct ourselves in the house of God. Though these guidelines were to inform the church on how we ought to conduct ourselves in the house of God. They will also help the believer to conduct himself rightly in the world.
1 thess 5:14.

• To uphold is to help. There are weak brethren in every church. They can be weak in conscience, conviction, faith ,love resolve, prayer, patience, temperance, self- control. etc. You can help the weak by avoiding certain liberties that may offend their conscience.

Be patient with all.
Patience is such a priceless virtue. Sometimes you are likely to give up on people because you are human and you exhibit frailties. But patience will allow you to endure people and watch them mature. Patience will help you to accommodate people who seem to be an offense.
The word of God teaches us in these and many other ways how to conduct ourselves in the House of God and even in the world.

If you apply all the points in your life, they will as well help you to live at peace with people.

I pray for greater expression of love and fellowship in our lives
