08/08/21 GOD WILL SAVE US FROM IT, EVEN BEFORE WE DO IT

08/08/21 GOD WILL SAVE US FROM IT, EVEN BEFORE WE DO IT

Anger, hatred, abuse and division, all produce sorrow.

Avoid the misery, destruction and losses by avoiding these sins through Christ, NOW.

Sometimes the sorrow is because the offender suffers a personal backlash or loss for mistreating others.

Sometimes the sorrow is because the offender realizes the cruel and damaging impact they have caused others.

Sometimes the sorrow is because the offender sees the sinfulness of their actions, but the sorrow is not godly sorrow, which results in repentance.

Sometimes the sorrow is godly sorrow, resulting in repentance, but the sinful words and deeds have done irreparable damage to others.

Sometimes the sorrow is godly sorrow and results in repentance before irreparable damage takes place.

Sometimes the sorrow is avoided altogether because the believer listened and followed the leading of the Holy Spirit, which precluded cruel and destructive attitudes, words and actions.

It is better to hear and heed what God says to you while you can repent.

It is even better to hear and heed the leading and warning of God, which will save you and others from devilish, destructive attitudes, words and actions.

2 Corinthians 7:10-11
10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

John 14:15-26
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:7-13
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
