Keep PEACEFUL: Be guided by the word of GOD:
“Thy
word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105).
Whenever
we have been done wrong by someone because we are human, at some pont in our
lifetime we have gotten very angry. However, as we continue to grow in the
Faith, we now know to keep PEACEFUL because the word of God says:
“Cease
from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil” (Psalm
37:8).
If
we do get angry the word of God also says: “[BE YE ANGRY, AND SIN NOT]: let not
the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil” (Ephesians
4:26).
“Jesus
Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), says: “These
things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John
16:33).
“Ye
have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on
thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
And
if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy
cloke also.
And
whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Give
to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou
away.
¶ Ye
have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate
thine enemy.
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;
That
ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun
to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the
unjust” (Matthew 5:38-39-45).
The
Apostle Paul also said: “Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us
an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” (Ephesians 4:27,
5:1-2).
