How do we desire to sort out the problems? Encroaching the law, imposing the law or through mercy?
• Pro 17:19 -> “Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who makes his door high seeks destruction.”.
Sin and strife walk together. Those who sin are doing something against the neighbor and the Creator. Therefore, they are seeking struggle, quarrel, squabble and something like this. And those who like to fight is because they long for imposing their wishes on everybody, regardless their needs or desires.
I know that, many times, people get disheartened to comply with the laws because there are many unrighteous laws and many transgressors. Nonetheless, as Paul said:
• 1Co 10:31,32 -> “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God,”.
We need to ask to ourselves honestly: what I am doing will hurt someone? Will this abash Jesus’ name? If it was someone else that did what I intend to do, how would I feel about it? So, Let’s obey what Paul said:
• Php 2:3,4 -> “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”.
So, have a good day loving only what is good for edification, aiming always what Jesus wish to do in the situation that we are living:
• Rom 15:2 -> “Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.”.
And, considering that the Creator manifest His goodness and mercy over all that he has made (Psa 145:9), let’s always seek this in the life of every creature.
• Jas 2:13 -> “For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.”.
• Pro 17:19 -> “Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who makes his door high seeks destruction.”.
