Scripture of the Day - March 3, 2012

Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.


All through scripture we see that the onus is on us to stop the old carnal ways. We are instructed over and over to put off the old way of thinking and put on God's way of thinking. We are the ones who have to let go of the old ways and take on the new. But we are strange creatures. We don't like to leave what we've known, we don't like to leave what we are used to, even if it is not good for us, because that takes us out of our comfort zone. Yes, we can even be comfortable in our misery! Like I said we are strange creatures. 


But God is not concerned with our comfort zone, He is concerned with our salvation zone. 


You have to decide what zone you want to be in. Pick your zone...bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour, evil speaking and malice... or kindness to one another, tenderheartedness, forgiveness for one another just like God forgave you.
