Love is not easily Angered

Again Paul in writing to the Romans,
“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”                                                                                                                                                     Romans 12:17,18
No one could ever accuse Paul or Christ of not knowing what the world is like. They lived in the Roman Empire, arguably one of the most multicultural cultures the world has ever known.
There was a vast array of cultures and customs, many of which to Jewish eyes of the day would seem barbaric. Yet neither Christ or the apostles or Paul ever spoke against them.
These men lived in harmony with the secular world around them.
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” states Paul in Romans 12:21.
Part of the essence of Christianity is overcoming evil with good. If we have the unconditional love of God at work in our lives we will over come evil.
We cannot scream threats against those who speak against us. We cannot even express even the slightest hint of hate toward our enemies, or those who disagree with us.
If we have Christ in our heart we must show love to even our worst enemy.
After all Love, is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs, Love does not delight in evil.
Think about it.
