Attitude of the Righteous

Our ministry is to reach out to the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ and to help believers be equipped with a solid knowledge of the Word of God, the Bible, and be encouraged to apply it in every aspect of their daily lives. There are simple truths for these complex times to help people live in a way that brings real spiritual victory to them and more importantly, through the Lord Jesus Christ, glory to God our Father.

 1 Peter 2:23 And while being reviled, He (Jesus) did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;

One of the most basic emotions in a natural man is a desire for revenge, to desire if it were possible to respond in kind to somebody who has hurt you. A very natural and a very un-Christlike response. Thank the Lord that we are not natural. 

Having been born again, not of flesh and blood but of the of the Holy Spirit {Jn.3:5-6}, we are as Paul wrote, more than 'mere men' {1Co.3:3-4} now having a heart that is filled with the love of God. {Rom.5:5} And that is coupled with patience that only comes to us as a fruit of the Holy Spirit. {Gal.5:22} We have been told, commanded is a better word, to have the same attitude in us that was in Christ Jesus {Php.2:5} and we see what that attitude is in today's bible verse. 

In the basic instruction manual for being a Christian, the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said that we are to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us in order that we may be sons of our Father who is in heaven. {Mat.5:44-45} However, for that to be even possible we certainly have to entrust ourselves to the Father “who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” {1Tim.2:4} 

I have been greatly and mightily blessed ever since I got saved so long ago by the Word of God, so much of which was written like today’s verse by the apostle Peter and by other faithful servants like Paul, one of the greatest lovers of God's people. Remember that it was he who had been the Pharisee Saul, one of the greatest haters of God's people. As Jesus said, all things are possible with God! {Mat.19:26} 

“For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:46-48) 

LOVE DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT A WRONG SUFFERED
