Unconditionally

 Unconditionally

The apostle Paul writes,

"If it is possible, as far as it depends on you,

 live at peace with everyone."

                                                              Romans 12:18.

If you claim to be a Christian. A true follower of Christ Jesus you need to take this verse of scripture to heart. The words of the apostle Paul are as true today as they were when he wrote them. Christians need to live at peace with everyone.

In order to do this we need to consider carefully the words of Jesus who said,


"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, 

for this sums up the Law and the Prophets" 

                                                                   Matthew 7:12


Put this way, today this means;


If you are

demonstrating against anyone. 

You are telling them 

they can demonstrate against you.


If you are 

speaking out and trying to restrict the rights of others 

given to them by the lawfully elected government.

You are telling others 

they can try to restrict your rights.


If you are 

imposing your morals on others

however good they may be.

You are telling them 

they can impose their morals on you, 

even if they are not as good as yours.


If you are 

trying to impose your faith on others 

rather than presenting your faith.

You are telling others 

they can impose their faith on you.


If you are

judging others.

You are telling others 

they can judge you in the same way.


If you 

are telling the world you are a Christian,

You should be telling the world 

I love you as Jesus loves you,...

unconditionally!

Please think about it
