To Be Least

      I was surprise by the comments on my statement that we as Christians should not swear, curse, and cuss. My point was that we should not use profanity in our speech. (Some apparently misunderstood what I was trying to say when I said that we should not curse. I meant as a profanity, not like when Jesus cursed the fig tree).
      ²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5) When we become born again, the Holy Spirit dwells in us. The fruit, or what you produce, is love, joy,peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
      If a man who says he is a Christians goes around swearing obscenities and cursing. I would question that man's salvation. He is not exemplifying patience, kindness, goodness, and gentleness.

⁷Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. ⁸Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (1 John 4)

      Now that you have read those verses, read this verse.

⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. (1 Cor. 13)

      We as Christians must live a life of love. We are to follow Christ's example, and He loved us so much that He died for the forgiveness of our sins. God is love.
      This applies to our actions, and it applies to what we say. So basically, we are to live a life of patience and kindness.
      Just some thoughts before I go eat my dinner. So think about what I have said. If you disagree with something I have said please feel free to say it. I am still learning, and will be doing so until the day I die. Talk to you later.
