ONE GREAT VERSE!

 

 

“And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”

                                                                                                                               – Ephesians 4:32

 

This is such a Great Verse!

Notice a few things…

 

 

Notice the small word, “And” This shows us that we need to ADD the contents of this verse to our daily lives. We can do this, we can do that… AND then we need to do Ephesians 4:32. It’s like the Holy Spirit hears our complaints about people and then whispers back into our hearts… “Child of God… don’t forget… AND be kind to…”. Thank God for the “ands” of the Bible.

 

 

To “be kind to one another” is HOW we need to treat every member of the body of Christ as well as those who have not given their lives to the Lord. Kindness is to be graciously useful for someone else in need.

 

 

To be “tenderhearted” means that we have a deep love & compassion for one another. Tenderheartedness is not shallow, fake or temporary… it is divine agape love in action from the heart of God.

 

 

To forgive “one another, even as God in Christ forgave you” means that we need to forgive others like God forgave us.

 

 

God Forgave us Quickly

God Forgave us Thoroughly

God Forgave us Eternally

God Forgave us Constantly

 

 

Saints – Let’s put this wonderful verse into practice within our daily lives… with our friends, our family, our kids, our spouses & our neighbors. The Lord will give us the ability to obey this verse by the Power of the Holy Spirit.

 

 

To be kind, compassionate & forgiving means that we must ask the Lord to give us His heart which is full of LOVE & GRACE for the whole world.
