So how should we live?
Mathew 5:21 We should not be angry with a brother,
We should not speak of a brother as being empty headed or good for nothing,
And we should not call a brother a fool. If we have offended a brother we need to go to him and make things right with him before we can approach God, with our offering i think this has to do with offering up our lives to Him also
Romans 12:1 I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
We should not look upon a woman and lust after her, for that is to have committed adultery with her in our heart. Lust leads to adultery so we should not lust after anything
Romans 13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.
James 4:1 You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. And you are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel.
1st John 2:16-17 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eye and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. And the world is passing away, and also its lust: but the one who does the will of the God abides forever.
We are to speak straight forward not wavering in anything
Mathew 5:37 But let your statement be yes, yes or no, no and anything beyond these is of evil.
We are to return good for evil, and give to those whom ask more then they ask, to be stretched, to allow our lives to be stretched out, so we may serve others.
We are to love our enemies, and pray for those who persecute us, in order that we may be sons of the Father who is in heaven. We are to treat every one the same, to greet each person we meet the same, with a grateful heart, that we can be Jesus to them.
And that brings us to Matthew 5:48 Therefore you are to be perfect, as you’re heavenly Father is perfect.
This has gotten me in trouble with others before but i truly believe that when the Father put something in His Book, (the bible), like be perfect as He is perfect, then He expects us to do our best to be perfect, as He is perfect. And for where it is located then i believe that Matthew 5:21-47 explains how we can be perfect, i also believe when Father God tells us to do or not do somthing He also gives us the way and ability to follow His instructions.
To morrow part two.
