1 | How do we love those in sin | Rom 5:8 | Parable | 42898 | ||
Try to have a top-down perspective on the situation. That is, try to see it from God's perspective. In this way, perhaps you can see that sin is like a disease and your sister is like a patient. Love and truth are the medicine. Be compassionate toward your sister by realizing that on her own, she is doing the best she can do with what she has been given, even if it seems she's not trying very hard. I find that a good way to help others learn to respect God is for them to learn to respect you, a vessel for the Holy Spirit. In all things you do, act so your sister can respect you, then perhaps she will be open to seeing the merits of a right relationship with the Lord. | ||||||
2 | How do we love those in sin | Rom 5:8 | TRU4GOD | 43018 | ||
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Matthew 19:19 honor your father and mother, and 'love your neighbor as yourself.'[ 19:19 Lev. 19:18] " You have to love your sister with the agape love of Jesus Christ (unconditional love). God loved you when you were in sin and He still forgives you when you fall short of His glory, so He commands us to do the same, but you can only do that through the Holy Spirit and His power. Ask God to help you to forgive and love her. The bible says, "by love and kindness have I drawn thee (Jeremiah 31:3)" You can't be a witness and be judgmental. Your sister will feel the resentment and in no way is that drawing her closer to God. |
