The good and evil you do to others, you do to the Lord.
(Acts 9:1-5).
How would your life be different if you lived by this truth?
Would you criticize Jesus, belittle Him, gossip about Him, spread lies about Him, or hold a grudge against Him the way you might someone else?
Would you give Him the silent treatment, lie to Him, or make fun of Him for being different?
“As you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to Me.”
Matthew 25:45
The thing is, you cannot be right with God if you’re not right with others. Consider how you treat the people in your home, at work, and within your church body. Does it line up with Gods instructions to love Him, and love others?
One of the greatest indicators of our relationship with God is the relationships we have with His people. If we have a harsh, critical, or judgmental spirit towards others, chances are we are not walking too close to the Lord. When we love and walk close to God, we love Him, and we love His people. Be reconciled to others, and experience the joy of revival in your relationship with God.
Opps…sent too soon. James 3:9-12 NIV
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
Love this! Just a reminder to take every thought and word captive.
