How Not to Love Your Neighbor Matthew 5:21 26
Are you an angry person? When was the last time anger welled up in your heart and you had an evil thought about another person? When was the last time you became jealous of another person and you felt evil intentions towards them?
Matthew 5:2122 You have heard that it was said to our ancestors, Do not murder, and whoever murders will be subject to judgment. But I tell you, everyone who is angry with his brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Whoever insults his brother or sister, will be subject to the court. Whoever says, You fool! will be subject to hellfire.
Genesis 4:67 Why are you furious? And why do you look despondent? If you do what is right, won t you be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.
A patient person shows great understanding, but a quick-tempered one promotes foolishness. Prov 14:29 A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but one slow to anger calms strife. (15:18) Don t make friends with an angry person, and don t be a companion of a hot-tempered one (22:24) For the churning of milk produces butter, and twisting a nose draws blood, and stirring up anger produces strife (30:33)
Ephesians 4:3132 Let all bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander be removed from you, along with all malice. And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.
Matthew 5:2324 So if you are offering your gift on the altar, and there you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled with your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift.
Matthew 7:3 Why do you look at the splinter in your brother s eye but don t notice the beam of wood in your own eye?
2 Corinthians 5:1819 Everything is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and he has committed the message of reconciliation to us.
Matthew 5:2526 Reach a settlement quickly with your adversary while you re on the way with him to the court, or your adversary will hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you will be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
1 Peter 4:8 Above all, maintain constant love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.
Hebrews 8:12 For I will forgive their wrongdoing, and I will never again remember their sins.
Promises of Peacemaking 1. I will not dwell on the offense 2. I will not bring up the offense against you 3. I will not talk to others about the offense 4. I will not allow the offense to stand between us or hinder our relationship
If you want to follow Jesus, you must choose love over anger and forgiveness over vengeance. Only then will you imitate Christ and be free to enjoy the blessed life.
