IF WE ARE OF CHRIST AS CLAIMED, WE MUST FOLLOW HIS LEAD.
THE CALLED AND REDEEMED:
AS AN AMBASSADORS OF CHRIST, APPOINTED BY HIS ROYAL MAJESTY AND ASSIGNED TO DO THE WILL OF THE MOST HIGH.
WE ARE TO FULLY REPRESENT THE INTEREST OF HIM WHO HAS CALLED US BY SPECIAL GRACE.
SO WE MUST BE READY TO LIVE UP TO OUR VARIOUS RESPONSIBILITIES WITH UTMOST HUMILITY, THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO GET INTO THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO WE ARE TO WIN FOR CHRIST.
NO WORD OF EVIL MUST COME OUT OF OUR MOUTH, AND NO EVIL THOUGHT FROM OUR HEARTS.
NO EVIL THOUGHT IS ALLOWED IN OUR MINDS, NOT EVEN AGAINST THOSE WHO PLANNED SUCH AGAINST US.
MATTHEW, 5:- 44 “BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU.”
TITUS, 3:- 1-3 “REMIND THEM TO BE SUBMISSIVE TO RULERS AND AUTHORITIES, TO BE OBEDIENT, TO BE READY FOR EVERY GOOD WORK, TO SPEAK EVIL OF NO ONE, AVOID QUARRELING, TO BE GENTLE, AND TO SHOW PERFECT COURTESY TOWARDS ALL PEOPLE.”
IF WE ARE OF CHRIST, WE MUST BE READY TO FOLLOW HIS LEAD.
PSALM, 1:- 1-3 “BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO WALKS NOT IN THE COUNSEL OF THE WICKED, NOR STANDS IN THE WAY OF SINNERS, NOR SIT IN THE SEAT OF SCOFFERS.”
THE HOLY SPIRIT OPERATES IN A PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT FREE OF HATRED AND EVIL THOUGHTS.
AS REDEEMED CHILDREN OF THE LIVING GOD, IF WE ARE STILL UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE FLESH, AND FAR DEEP INTO WHAT THE BIBLE CALLED “THE WORKS OF THE FLESH IN THE BOOK OF GALATIANS, 5:- 19-21: THEN WE HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM.
MORE SO, IF WHAT WE KEEP ASKING FROM GOD IS WORLDLY RICHES AND NOT ETERNAL LIFE WITH CHRIST, WE ARE STRIKING THE WRONG CHORD.
IN CONCLUSION: WE HAVE READ THE HOLY BIBLE AND KNOW WHAT GOD REQUIRES OF US AS HEIRS OF HIS KINGDOM. IF WE CHOOSE TO IGNORE HIS VOICE AND THINK HE WILL LOOK OTHER WAY AND REWARD OUR STUBBORNNESS: WE ARE DEMENTED AND DELUSIONAL
