Good morning Friends of Steemit and Steemchurch, on this occasion I want to share a little reflection on our attitude with the neighbor.
You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. You shall not withhold the wages of the hired servant in your house until morning. You shall not curse the deaf, and you shall not put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am Jehovah. Thou shalt not do injustice in judgment, neither favoring the poor nor pleasing the great; with justice you will judge your neighbor. You will not go gossiping among your people. You will not attempt against the life of your neighbor. I am Jehovah. You shall not abhor your brother in your heart; you will reason with your neighbor, so that you do not participate in his sin.Leviticus 19: 13-17
As we all know that the neighbor is all those people who are around us or in the most general case that the Bible says every human being is neighbor.
Once in our lives we have acted dishonestly or unfairly against someone, either with lies, abuse, cheating, among other things, that many times we think that we do not hurt or hurt anyone because we only think of well-being in our own, in the biblical passage God makes reference not to oppress the neighbor, that is, not to submit, humiliate, mistreat, burden, etc. As we see this small prayer covers many harmful things that one individual can do against another.
The Lord in his word is very clear to place as second commandment "love your neighbor to yourself" Matthew 22:39 clearly The Lord emphasized all our attitudes with others in two commandments, (the first is Amaras To God over everything)
Maybe we have wondered what meaning this commandment will have, well in my opinion, the man himself loves, does not like to suffer, to be screamed, mistreated and if someone comes to do some damage he defends himself, he likes to have the best for himself same, dress what you like, in a few words, always give yourself a love in everything.
Well, to these things that we do in ourselves, to be our way of acting with others, this pleases God. But sadly there are people within the congregations who do not feel true love for their fellow men because for the Lord we are all equal and their love embraces everyone equally.
Seeing how bad our attitude can be with others, then how can we improve our attitude towards others?
The answer is Love
with all humility and meekness, bearing with patience one another in love,Ephesians 4: 2
