Often times we forget that it our duty to forgive and forget those you wrong us or offend us and when the Holy spirit does not dwell in us we find it very difficult to let go. When we don't practice the love that Jesus showed when he was on earth that is the love of forgiving and forgetting continuously.
1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
From the bible , a murderer is not only one who killed someone it can as well be someone who hates his brother meaning that God is encouraging us to love our brother continuously as a day commit to God and ourselves. That's why Satan will always fight for brothers to hate themselves so that they will not inherit the eternal life and thereby inherit eternal condemnation.
Ephesians 4:30-32 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
When Bitterness, wrath, anger and clamour with malice are not put away , it means that God which is love does not dwell in you. I wonder how a christain wil operate on these things, no space for these because the love of God has occupied your heart so mo room for all those things.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
Love is the root of them all. Where there is no love all these will fail that why the bible says never fails. When love is absence in the life of man he struggles in everything he does and if you notice one thing when there is no love peace is also absence too, that's is why is grater than everything one can imagined.
1 John 4:8, 16 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
The summary of it all it that we should love at all time. God is love I can't say am a christain when I don't forget the evil that one did to me that means am ready for the eternal glory ahead and the blessing therefore.
God bless us a we love one another
