Church we have to do better.
Thought.
I remember when i did not have self love forgiveness is a act of self love you don’t have to let people set you up again, to do you like they did you forgive quick, and hold no grudges beloved’s.
My experiences has been getting better with God people, listening to what the Bible say listening to our Holy Bibles is doing what it say I’ve been kept from headache and heartache sad church folk will do you wrong when they are ready God don’t want us to be church folk God want us to be the church the church ain’t brick and mortar the church is people what Lord Jesus said to peter goes for us this day Matthew 16:18.
Jeremiah 17:9-10 The Voice
The choices and consequences are clear. Rely on people alone, and life will be tough and brutish. Rely on the one True God, and life will be rich and productive.
The heart is most devious and incurably sick.
Who can understand it?
It is I, the Eternal One, who probes the innermost heart
and examines the innermost thoughts.
I will compensate each person justly,
according to his ways and by what his actions deserve.
Church this is all my heart when leadership and believers don’t want to apologize, knowing that they did someone wrong it’s a sin, and you can’t think that you can go to god and say God forgive me for wrong that i done to Andre you have to go to Andre and ask Andre to forgive you. God is very much into all of us doing things decent and in order let’s take a look at what law Jesus said to the disciples about forgiving our brothers and sisters that sin against us we must be willing to do this on purpose. We must forgive quick and hold, no grudges, even if they don’t ask us to forgive them because some just won’t sad but true.
What does Matthew 18:21-22 mean? Peter is asking how many times we must forgive those who sin against us. Peter suggested seven times and Jesus came back with 70 times 7 or 490 times. That essentially means we should forgive others as many times as it takes.
Matthew 18:21-22
Parable of the Unforgiving Debtor
Then Peter came to him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone[a] who sins against me? Seven times?”
“No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven![b]
Matthew 7:12 NLT
“Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.
What is 1 Corinthians 14:40 about?
Taking these meanings into account, First Corinthians 14:40 could be translated: “Let everything be done in a fitting and proper manner that is organized, well-planned, respectful, well-mannered, and polite.”
1 Corinthians 14:40
Let all things be done decently and in order.
What is the reflection of Galatians 6:7-9?
Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Holy Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up.
Galatians 6:7–9
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for awhatever one sows, that will he also reap.
For bthe one who sows to his own flesh cwill from the flesh reap corruption, but dthe one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
And elet us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, fif we do not give up.
The first part of Php 1:27 shows Paul's passion for the Philippians: “… conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” He's essentially saying, “Walk the talk” or “live up to who you are.” This is a command in the present tense, meaning this is a call for continuous activity.
Philippians 1:27
Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel
Conclusion.
James 4:17 New Century Version.
Anyone who knows the right thing to do, but does not do it, is sinning.
Take note so if you know the right way to live and ignore it, it is sin—plain and simple we must know the right way to treat each other as well when we treat people wrong it’s a sin.
Hey everyone! It’s amazing how much wisdom is packed into ancient texts that still applies to our bustling lives today. I've been reflecting a lot on the 'Golden Rule' and the immense power of forgiveness, especially how they intertwine with our well-being and spiritual growth. The 'Golden Rule' from Matthew 7:12, “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you,” isn't just a nice saying; it’s a blueprint for harmonious living. I used to think of it as just being 'nice,' but it's so much more. It's about empathy, understanding, and actively seeking to uplift those around us. For me, applying this means pausing before I react, considering how my words or actions might make someone else feel. It's truly transformed my interactions, making them more authentic and less about seeking my own advantage. When I started living this way, I noticed a shift – people responded differently to me, and my relationships deepened because I was genuinely investing in their well-being, just as I'd want them to invest in mine. Then there's forgiveness. Oh, the journey of forgiveness! Like many, I've struggled with holding onto hurts. The original article mentions Peter asking Jesus how many times to forgive, and Jesus' answer of 'seventy times seven' (Matthew 18:21-22) isn't a literal number but a profound call to boundless forgiveness. This truly resonated with me. I realized that holding grudges wasn't hurting the other person as much as it was hurting *me*. The image I saw about 'THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS' really hit home – it's an act of self-love and mental healing. It's about releasing the burden from your own heart, not necessarily condoning the action, but freeing yourself from its grip. I’ve learned that forgiving quickly, as hard as it sometimes feels, leads to a profound sense of inner peace. It’s also crucial to understand that 'forgiveness doesn't mean access.' This has been a huge realization for me. You can forgive someone for wrongdoing without allowing them back into your life to potentially cause more harm. It’s about protecting your peace and setting healthy boundaries, which is another form of self-love. You can release the anger and resentment, but still maintain a safe distance if necessary. This distinction is vital for healing without compromising your well-being. Another powerful concept is 'reaping what you sow' from Galatians 6:7-9. This isn't about immediate reward or punishment, but a natural consequence of our choices and attitudes. When I sow kindness, patience, and understanding, I tend to reap positive relationships and a more peaceful environment. Conversely, if I sow negativity or resentment, that's often what comes back. It encourages me to be intentional about what I'm putting out into the world, because ultimately, it impacts my own harvest. Living by these principles, 'decently and in order' (1 Corinthians 14:40), creates a stable foundation not just for me, but for my community. The idea that 'the church is people,' not just a building, inspires me to embody these values in every interaction, making every space a place of grace and understanding. It’s a continuous journey, but one that leads to deep satisfaction and genuine mental healing.
