Struggles with Unforgiveness
 Toni Smothers
 
Scripture Reading: Ephesians 4:17-27

Scripture Quote:  Stop being bitter and angry and mad at others. Don't yell at one another or curse each other or ever be rude. Instead, be kind and merciful, and forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ. (Ephesians 4:31-32 CEV)
 
The Word of God tells us to forgive. How are we different than nonbelievers when we will not forgive? What kind of testimony to the world is one of unforgiveness? If Christian people can't forgive others, we show little regard for our salvation. God freely gave His forgiveness of our sins. This is a no-brainer - Any brooding feelings, or tinges of resentment qualify as unforgiveness. Outright anger that rises up in us against someone, insults the constant stream of forgiveness Christ's sacrificial death has provided us. We must always be willing to forgive one another, without exception.
 
Believers have put off the fallen, sinful state and have been regenerated into fellowship with Jesus - We have been given access to our Heavenly Father's merciful forgiveness. The Bible tells us, and experience confirms, that the old self is not yet dead, but slowly dying. The flesh continues to try to dominate, so although in our renewed hearts we agree with the Law of God, we have a war within us. We must beg Jesus for deliverance. His Holy Spirit that abides in us is powerful and He can win each of our battles with unforgiveness.
 
Today’s meditation: Forgive others because we are also forgiven.
 
Memory Verse:  Instead, be kind and merciful, and forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ. (Ephesians 4:32 CEV)

​容赦のない闘い

 トニー・スマザーズ

 

啓典:エペソ4:17-27

 クリックして聖典を読む

聖書引用:他の人には激しく怒って怒ってはいけません。お互いに叫んでおらず、お互いを罵ったり、怒ったりしてはいけません。代わりに、親切で慈悲深く、他人を許してください。神様がキリストのためにあなたを許したように。 (エフェソス4:31-32 CEV)

 

神の言葉は、私たちに許してくれるよう伝えています。私たちが許してくれない時、私たちは不信者とどう違うのですか?世界に対するどのような証言が、許しがたいものでしょうか?キリスト教徒が他者を許すことができなければ、私たちは救いをほとんど考慮しません。神は自由に私たちの罪を赦しました。これは簡単なことではありません。邪悪な気持ちや怒りのようなものは、許しがたいものです。誰かに対して私たちの中で立ち上がる激しい怒りは、キリストの犠牲死が私たちにもたらした許しの絶え間ない流れを侮辱します。例外なく、常に互いに喜んでお互いを許す必要があります。

 

信者は、堕落した罪深い状態を止め、イエスとの交わりに再創造されました.-わたしたちは、天の御父の慈悲深い許しへのアクセスを与えられました。聖書は私たちに、古い自己はまだ死んでいないがゆっくりと死んでいるということを確認しています。肉体が支配しようとし続けているので、私たちの新たな心の中で私たちは神の法則に同意しますが、私たちは私たちの中に戦争を持っています。私たちは救済のためにイエスを懇願しなけれ私たちの中にある聖霊は力強く、私たちはそれぞれの戦いに不利な立場で勝つことができます。

 

今日の瞑想:私たちも許されているので、他の人を許してください。

 

あなたはキリストのために神があなたを許したように、親切で慈悲深く、他人を許してください。 (エペソ人への手紙第4章32節)
