Christian Characteristics 2

If yesterday’s  list was delivered in Staccato style (short and sharp), then today’s, from Romans 12.14-21 is more Legato – longer phrases linked together.  No matter the delivery, all describe how Christian are to act.

  • Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse them
  • Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep
  • Live in harmony with one another
  • Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly
  • Never be wise in your own sight
  • Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to what is honorable in the sight of all
  • If possible, as far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all
  • Never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God
  • If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink
  • Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good

Four days, four lists, lots to think about from Romans 12.
