As is fitting
"
May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory.
(Romans 15.5-7 NLT)
"
We very frequently put our opinion and logic above others regardless they are non-Christians or Christians. We put them down and call them names whenever we disagree with them.
Is this fitting for followers of Christ Jesus? Not according to Jesus.
But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. (Matthew 5.22 NLT)
Lord forgive us for we have sinned.
And help us to live "as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus".
Amen
