How good it is to treat a person who radiates peace in his personality.
Greetings, dear and blessed community of Steemit. Hoping they are well and with faith and hope to be better.
At all times dealing with friendly people, of good character and without prejudice is great, and most of us want to share with this type of people.
On the contrary, there are people who are badly faced, pessimistic, catastrophic, envious, gossip and other bad adjectives in their personality, who make or promote a rejection in us that we find difficult to avoid.
This rejection or acceptance does not only occur in the presence of these people, but also at the time of reading their writings. It is very common for people to write similar to how they express themselves in person. They even use capital letters to emphasize that that sentence they would be saying screaming if they were in person.
Each one of us should examine our vocabulary, as I highlighted a Bible quote in a previous post "of what abounds in the heart speaks the mouth" (LUKE 6:45). However, the way of saying things is also important and it is this point that I want to be understood on this occasion.
A verbal abuse often hides behind phrases like "With the truth I do not offend or fear" or "For the truth Christ died". But even though we must be defenders of the truth, this does not give us a license to kill relationships with disrespect and offenses.
Some Christian defenders of the truth, certainly, fall into this error to be a bit intolerant and unfortunately sometimes we are offensive in the name of the gospel. However, it is not good.
There is a very beautiful biblical passage in the book of Romans, I share a little:
Romans 10:14-15
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
The apostle Paul tries to encourage Christians to preach the gospel, because it is necessary to do it if we want people to know about Jesus Christ. I want to highlight how this ends that I shared with you "beautiful are the feet, of those who announce peace ...". So, we are called to preach the gospel of power and transformation of our Lord Jesus Christ by announcing "Peace," as we will do in peace if we preach the gospel with an attitude of accusatory and sometimes offensive.
Jesus Christ himself began his ministry promulgating "Repent because the kingdom of heaven has come near." It certainly calls us to repent, but it also shows us the promise of salvation. Imagine if the phrase had been "Repent because if you are not condemned to hell".
In the Bible there are many passages that tell us about the eternal death that produces a life of sin, but there are many more passages that speak of a wonderful eternal life in the heavens for everyone who repents.
The bible says that Jesus shared with the spiritual sick (socially bad people) to bring spiritual healing. But surely he was not accusing or offensive to them, because they would not have listened to him.
I am sure that when we speak first of the wonders reserved for those who practice the works of the spirit, then when it is our turn to speak of destiny for those who practice the works of the flesh, it will not be an offensive message, much less disrespectful.
I do not want you to understand that I want you to accept sin, in any way, what I want is that you show first a gospel of love, power and transformation with great respect and good treatment.
I say goodbye using this verse, "a light is not lit and placed under a bushel, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are at home" (Matthew 5: 14-15). Let us be light, let us announce peace, and the darkness that distracts some people will disappear and they will see the admirable light of our Lord Jesus.
Thank you for reading this far. God bless you. Greetings and a big hug.
PS: I'm trying to improve my English, to exchange messages more easily.
God is not aggresive.This photo looks agressive.
It is correct, God is a respectful gentleman. They are some people who, regrettably, are aggressive at the moment of preaching the gospel. Thanks for your comment. God bless you.
