Meditation
You were Sanctified.
There might be quarrels
among the believers. Do not approach the ungodly but approach the believers and
godly. Those who have the fear of God and respect for humanity will settle your
disputes. In the first place, a believer having a dispute and quarrel is due to
lack of faith, disbelief and love for God and the other. The quarrel and
disrespect of the other should make one correct oneself and come to the path of
God.
In case one is at fault,
gone wrong in his life, and living in sin. St Paul tells us about such persons
and the care to be taken in Jesus. “Instead, you yourselves
cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters. Or do
you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not
be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor
adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor
thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will
inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But
you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God (1Cor 6; 8-11).
Are we aware that sinful
human nature is justified through Jesus?
