Today's Scripture *November 4, 2009*
1 John 3:15
Anyone who hates another brother or sister is really a murderer at heart. And you know that murderers don't have eternal life within them.
John echoes Jesus' teaching that whoever hates another person is a murderer at heart (Matthew 5: 21-22 “You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.’ But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.).
Christianity is a religion of the heart; outward compliance alone is not enough. Bitterness against someone who has wronged you is an evil cancer within you and will eventually destroy you. Don't let a "poisonous root of bitterness" (Hebrews 12:15 Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.) grow in you or your church.
Heavenly Father, we praise You and give You glory and honor.
Help us to love our fellow brothers and sisters.
We want to grow love and forgiveness in our hearts, and not bitterness, distruction, and hate.
Guide us and help us to seek Your heart for others...even if we have been hurt by them. In Jesus' Name, Amen..
Have a blessed day!
April
