ENEMIES: BIBLE VERSES (1)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Enemies

a) The Bible is God’s word to us.  Far to often, we take it for granted and don’t revere and treasure the word of God as we should.  One of the reasons that it is important that we read and know God’s word is because the Bible often tells us things that we would never grasp on our own.  Some things just don’t seem to make sense to our finite minds.  The words that we find in the Bible about enemies is one of those areas.  Our culture and society tells us to live for ourselves and to grab all of the gusto for ourselves.  Loving and forgiving our enemies is counter to our own sense of reasoning.   

Luke 6:27
But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.

2. Bible Verses

Exodus 23:4  
If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall bring it back to him.

Exodus 23:5 
If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying down under its burden, you shall refrain from leaving him with it; you shall rescue it with him.

Acts 7:60 
And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep. 


The End ...
