Our King and High Priest Jesus Christ set a mark for each one of His brothers and sisters to follow. That standard was not to live a sin free life and if we do not, we do not get into heaven. It was to live a life of love for all family, friends, strangers, enemies, essentially all those in our proximity. We are to love our neighbors with the love and forgiveness that Christ loved us with. Living this life cannot be managed on our own this is why we were afforded the privilege of having the Holy Spirit guide and teach us. We just have to submit to the Father's will and allow Him to train us how to respond to every situation. We learn how to respond in every situation by the renewing our minds daily through reading the word of God and rightly dividing it. Through the renewing of our minds we learn how to change our perspectives and put off the ways we use to justify lashing out or defending ourselves when external stimuli brought us stress. Live this life free with the Godly perspective He is forming in you and walk in the newness of loving your neighbor as yourself!!!
Read Romans 12.
