BE YE ANGRY, AND SIN NOT.
HOLY AND BELOVED:
SOME ARE DEEPLY IN THE HABIT OF CHOOSING WHAT TO, AND WHAT NOT TO FORGIVE WHEN VIOLATED.
THIS UNFORGIVABLE ATTITUDE HAS CAUSED SOME TO FALL OUT OF THEIR CALLINGS BUT REFUSED TO ACCEPT THEIR FALLEN AND RETRACE THEIR STEPS BACK TO GOD LIKE THE PRODIGAL SON.
2 CHRONICLES, 7:-14 “IF MY PEOPLE, WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THIER SIN, AND WILL HEAL THEIR LAND.”
SOME CHRISTIANS ARE LIVING COMFORTABLY WITH GRUDGES AND MALICE, THINKING GOD WILL UNDERSTAND THEIR REASONS OF SUCH HABITS.
MATTHEW, 5:-16 “LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS, AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.”
SURELY, GRUDGES AND MALICIOUS THOUGHTS ARE NOT PART OF THE GOOD WORKS THE LORD REQUIRED OF US.
EPHESIANS, 4:-26 “BE YE ANGRY, AND SIN NOT, LET NOT THE SUN GO DOWN UPON YOUR WRATH.”
IN CONCLUSION: WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHOOSE WHAT TO FORGIVE AND WHAT NOT TO FORGIVE.
WE MUST FORGIVE OTHERS IF WE ARE TO BE FORGIVEN BY OUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. (MATTHEW, 6:- 14-15)
MAY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST DRAW US CLOSER TO HIS THRONE OF MERCY AND ABUNDANT GRACE THAT WE MAY HAVE THE FORGIVEN HEART TO FORGIVE OTHERS AS WE ARE FORGIVEN BY HIS GRACE.
IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME WE PRAY. AMEN.
