Thou Shall Not Revenge Part One

What shall we do to our enemies?
Are we going to repay them with evil? or with good?

Some of us were hot tempered and easy to get angry specially when someone hurts us or done us with evil. And sometimes,when our anger was uncontrollable,we take revenge against our enemies that mostly took us to imprisonment.

The murder case is done not just only in terms  of physical action but also in our thoughts. We  can also be a murderer within our thoughts. But the question is how? When you coincidentally encounter your enemies in some places anywhere, and you remember the things they have done against you before,  and you think something evil that push you to revenge  or you may be speak curses against  them intellectually.

God requires us to live peaceful lives and be a peacemaker. Always remember the God’s word says,”…Love your neighbor as you love yourself(Matthew 22:39NIV). This was the second great commandment that Jesus gave to us and the summary of the last five of the 10 Commandments that God had written on the stone tablet and gave to Moses to teach Israel and obey them.

This commandment is not just for Israelites, but also to all mankind.We are both made by One God and He is our Father and we are all brothers and sisters in God’s creation, made in his own image and likeness.

And God is a God of peace, not of war. That’s why He loves peace between His creatures.He’s also a God of love not of hatred and He wants us to love one another. Love is the very very heart of God.That’s the reason why He gave His own and only begotten Son-Jesus Christ . And that’s the reason why we are still living today.

Revenging is not the will of God, but of the devil. The devil loves trouble and wars between God’s creation, and he’s always working for it all the way and all the time.That’s why there was always war and crimeanywhere in the world.Humans are not our true enemies they were just a victim deceived by our true enemy-The devil.The true battle is not against flesh and blood,but against the rulers, against the powers, against the spiritual forces of  darkness.

Love and peace can protect our world from mass destruction if any one knows that or somebody tells them about that.This time which of the you will able to choose? love and peace? or revenge? If you love God and you love your neighbors you will choose love and peace.

God bless you and happy reading!
