Live Peaceably With All Men

Rom. 12:14-21

Conflicts may arise because one party knowingly or inadvertently does something that displeases the other party. People may offend us out of their malicious intention. Offence can also occur because people misinterpret our actions and intentions. There are several steps the mature Christian can take to resolve conflict. The Christian can approach the offending or offended party with the goal of making peace. This requires humility and self-effacement. The Christian can go a second mile to make peace without pre-conditions when it is the other party that has offended him. The mature Christian should also avoid taking revenge on the offending party. Rather, he should seek to repay evil with good. The Holy Spirit will readily give necessary grace to these if we are willing.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: As much as it lies within your power, live peaceably with all men.

PRAYER POINT: I receive the spirit of humility to be able to live at peace with all men in Jesus’ name.
