How would you respond? How would Jesus respond? Is it the same response or different? Can you tell me what your response is to things? Do you have answers to any of the questions? If you have more questions than answers that is understandable. Would you respond like Jesus or the way you respond now? 48 Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:48. If we are to be like Father in Heaven shouldn't we respond like him too. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:31-32. instead of being like the first verse shouldn't we be like Christ and be the second part of that verse when we respond or have to respond to things that come up in our lives or when we have to do something.
A soft answer turneth away wrath; But a grievous word stirreth up anger. Proverbs 15:1. How we respond leads to how the outcome of the matter our feeling will be. but if we are like the verse says are to be slow to wrath not fast to wrath for if we are not slow, we will have anger. We respond in anger all the time or in a moody way do we not well maybe not all the time, but we do it and may not even know it.
We need to take a look at how we respond and make changes if we need to. The change you make is simple how would Jesus respond then know that you are not perfect and will not respond like Jesus all the time and don't take it to heart when you don't. Just pray when you don't and pray that you will respond like Jesus as well. All God can do is ask us to try to be like Him. but we will not be perfect like him, we can only strive to be like Him. 23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23. We all fall short of being perfect, the glory of God. but as I said we can strive to be like Him.
