Do your love your neighbor as yourself




Hello everyone!! Another fabulous day in the LORD. For the ones of you that look at the time, yes, I am doing this Sunday night as I have to be on the road by 5 a.m. Monday. Taking care of God's business first.

James 2:8 "Yes, indeed, it is good when you obey the royal law as found in the Scriptures. 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" The "royal law" was given by our great King Jesus Christ, who said, 'love each other in the same way that I have loved you' (John 15:12) This law, originally summarized in Leviticus 19:18 is the basis for all the laws of how people should relate to one another. Christ reinforced this truth in Matthew 22:37-40 and Paul taught it in Romans 13:8 and Galatians 5:14.

Leviticus 19:18 "Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against a fellow Israelite, but love your neighbor as yourself, I am the LORD."

Don't bear grudges! This we all need to take to heart. Whether it be conflicts in the church, at work, at home, or just daily - do not bear grudges!!! Love your neighbor as yourself. How can we criticize ourselves when we love ourselves? We look at what we did and how we can improve it next time. We need to adapt this to our Christian life as well. Don't criticize someone - go to them in love, talk to them, clear the air, but don't hold a grudge. Also, how many of you will fuss, cuss, and yell at yourself? Well........,don't do it to your fellow Christian. Go to them - in love - talk to them and gather ALL the information.

Are you living a Christian life? Do your fruits show? Food for thought. Thank you for reading. Love you all. Remember, you can go to www.johnnybdaily.blogspot.com to view these as well.

In Christ's Love and Grace

Johnny
