Sometimes we feel justified in our anger and response to others. Many times it is because they have hurt us or others in some way. We have choices to make everyday and one of those is how we will respond to others, how we think of them, how we treat them, how we strive for peace or strife. How will people see the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ when we are choosing to show darkness of sin in response. Choose to guard your thoughts and actions. Pursue peace!
Matthew 5:21
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment
Revelation 21:7
The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death
Hebrews 12:14
Strive for peace with everyone, for without holiness no one will see the Lord
Romans 14:19
So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding
Galatians 5:19
Now the works of the flesh are evident:sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God
1 Corinthians 6:9
And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God
