The Law

In the past, I've posted many blogs concerning the law of God. Although, the Law is important, and we should follow it, we cannot obtain our salvation through the law. No matter how good we are, we will never be sinless and because we always sin, we can never fulfill the law.

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

Romans 3:23

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Galatians 5:4

Knowing that all men are sinners, God sent his son to die for our sins. And in accepting his amazing grace, we are saved. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have salvation. All you have to do is accept.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

Greed

Our lives in this world can revolve around worldly things. Money, food, clothes, or power, these things can all make us greedy. We as humans only want more and more. We put materials first in our lives, only wanting more. We don't put God first in our lives, but we put money and power instead. Greed and desires should not rule our lives, or be first in our lives. The first place and most important place in our lives is reserved for God. We should not try and replace God's rightful place with something else.


A greedy man brings trouble to his family, but he who
hates bribes will live.

Proverbs 15:27

A greedy man stirs up dissension, but he who trusts in
the LORD will prosper.

Proverbs 28:25

The Lord has giving us many blessings. Let us accept them and do not be greedy. Praise him and thank him for all the blessings and the salvation he has given us. It is very hard to resist greed. Everyday we dream of a new phone or new car. Let us be grateful for the things we have now. We have what we have because God gave them to us. There is a reason He gave these things to us. Use them for his glory.

And when we accept Jesus's amazing grace, all the things and all the power we need is given to us.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things
will be given to you as well.

Jeremiah 17:33

Forgiveness

We are often wronged by strangers and even those who are close to us. We ourselves harm others as well. We often get angry at those who offend us and hold grudges against them, but we should not do this. Forgiving those who wrong us is not easy but we have to try our best because it is the right thing to do and pleases the Lord.

For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Matthew 6:14-15

We should forgive others just as God forgives us everyday. We should also forgive ourselves for mistakes we've made. Be kind and compassionate to one another and forgive because you want to and not because you have to.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Ephesians 4:32

Anger

Anger is a human emotion that we all have. Everyday we experience anger. At work, school, even at home, anger is everywhere. We can get angry at others, animals , inanimate objects, at ourselves, and even towards God. Anger is not a bad thing, we all experience it and anger is a very natural human emotion. But, never let your anger become an obstacle to God. Anger is not always a sin, but when it clouds your judgment and keeps you from God, it becomes a sin.

"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.

Ephesians 4:26-27

For man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

James 1:20

When anger prevents us from growing in God or impairs our judgment, Satan can manipulate us in many ways. We may yell at your loved ones, express hate and violence, or even denounce God. Anger is a very powerful emotion. Learn to control your anger and express love instead.

A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control.

Proverbs 29:11

Speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.

Ephesians 4:15

But what causes our anger? and how do we control it?
Anger can come from many things. From others who have wronged us or hurt us, or even from selfishness. Controlling our anger is very difficult. We as humans can be angered easily. But our anger can be easily overcome by forgiveness and confession of our anger as sin.

He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

Proverbs 28:13

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Ephesians 4:31-32
