If possible live in Peace
The writer of Hebrews states,
"Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14.
The Apostle Peter who wrote,
"Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.
Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us." 1 Peter 2:11,12.
Jesus 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.
I know we are all human, make mistakes and fall short of what God wants for our lives. That being said however, if we are truly followers of Christ Jesus we should be at least trying to make the above scriptures active in our daily lives.
Thus my questions to you.
Are you trying to live at peace with all those around you?
Are you trying to live a holy life?
Are you doing your best to abstain from sinful desires?
Are you living a good life? Above all are you treating those around you in the same way your would have them treat you?
Please think about it.
