FREEDOM FROM LOOKING DOWN ON ANYONE
5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
HURTING WORLD = CONDEMNATION
3:18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
HAVING A CLEAR CONSCIENCE
3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, [then] have we confidence toward God.
NOTHING HURTS US MORE THAN WHEN WE ARE NOT PLEASING GOD
WHY DID JESUS COME INTO THE WORLD?
3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
WHY DOES JESUS SEND US INTO THE WORLD?
17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
hmmmmmm same REASON !
3:20For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
3:13 Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 3:15This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, devilish. 3:16 For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work.
23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
ITS NOT WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF US BUT WHAT GOD KNOWS THAT MATTERS.
4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. 4:4For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN FREEDOM NOT TO LOOK DOWN ON ONE ANOTHER but TO TO LIFT EACH OTHER UP IN PRAYER IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.
3:17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
WE HAVE THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE LOVE OVER POWER,
THE CROSS OVER CONTROL
TO BE LED BY GOD OVER PLAYING god.
1:9Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
I don't believe there is a living soul who needs any more pain in this hurting world.
5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
There isn't one of us who is not hurting in some way. Why add to anyones pain !
Jesus came into the world to help it and He send us to do the same.
