 Self-Righteousness The Enemy's scheme, as far as getting one to take offence, is to move them over into a heart-attitude of "self-righteousness" and, thus, believing that they were "wronged [whether they actually were or not] that they were "justified in doing and saying what was "on their heart" at the time - even though they clearly departed from walking in love. In reality, it was the lie of the Enemy to move them apart from My Will [the narrow path] for their life and ministry - and onto the "broad path" [that leads to destruction] .
"There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death".... Proverbs 14:12 The Amplified Translation
...."Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God's favour) to those who hear it".... Ephesians 4:29 The Amplified Translation
...."Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]".... 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a The Amplified Translation |
