Our Duty Series
Keeping the Peace
In this section we are going to focus on verses 14 and 15. In these two verses we are commanded to do some things:
Warn them that are unruly
§ In love we need to warn those that are doing what they are suppose to be doing in their Christian walk. (Ephesians 2.10) God has a plan for us, but He want willing servants ~ He will convict, but He will never force.
§ Warn means “to caution or reprove gently:--admonish”
§ Unruly means “insubordinate (religiously)”
Comfort the feeble minded
§ Encourage those that of little faith or those that lack confidence in themselves to do the work of the Lord.
Support the weak
§ Help to hold up the impotent, sick, without strength, weak.
§ This could be a spiritual support of someone that a may be wounded or one that of a physical support. (Being there for someone that may be struggling)
Be patient toward all men
§ This is to endure toward all men
Render not evil for evil
§ We are not to get even. Things that happen are not our ticket to get back at someone.
Follow that which is good
§ The only good thing that we have is our Lord. Not thing else matters.
**Take some time in these sections and look up some verses that will help you to understand what it is that God would like for you to do. I purposely left out many verses in hopes that the reader will take time to find them.
