'Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. perhaps God will change those people's hearts, and they will learn the truth'
I believe it is necessary for us as a body to correct and instruct one another when we are going wrong, the thing is so often we go about wrong. With our own objectives or to make ourselves look impressive. We need to pull people up and tell them when they are doing wrong, but we do in GENTLY, and we do it with LOVE. Not because we want to look better than them but because we want the best for them!
' Avoid worthless foolish talk that only leads to more godless behaviour. This kind of talk spreads like cancer,'
We have to be so careful what we say and how it influences us, not only that but the conversations we hear and are a part of around our friends, they can influence our actions!
'Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love and peace.'
All of this is true, and I believe living like this will impact our lives and our walk with God as well as our impact on the world massively but sometimes it feels like a mountain to climb. However it's not by our own power or accomplishment.
'Be strong through the grace that God gives you in Christ Jesus!'
