Practicing Christianity

Notes from "The Joy of Fearing God" by Jerry Bridges

page 162 - If we express our fear of God by keeping all His decrees and commands as Moses said (Deut 6:2), then we must give attention to our interpersonal relationships.

Consider, for example the following from Romans 12:
  • Love sincerely (v9), Be devoted to one another in brotherly love (10)
  • Honor others above yourself (10)
  • Share with others in need (13)
  • Practice hospitality (13)
  • Bless those who persecute you (14)
  • Rejoice with those who rejoice (15)
  • Mourn with those who mourn (15)
  • Live in harmony with one another (16)
  • Do not be proud or conceited (16)
  • Do not repay evil for evil (17)
  • Seek to live at peace with everyone (18)
  • Do not seek revenge (19)
  • Overcome evil with good (21)
