laying aside falsehood,SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOUR
As usual, during sunday school i wasn't paying much attention (Half listening, one quater wondering, one quater half going through the other irrelevant versus and the remaining was left for me to keep my eyes open).
Then a few interesting versus i happen to glance at.... Ephesias 4:25 to 27 (NASB version)
25) Therefore laying aside falsehood,SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOUR, for we are members of one another.
26) BE ANGRY, AND yet DO NOT SIN; do not let the sun go down in your anger,
27) and do not give the devil an opportunity.
It struck to me that
- How can one leave without faslehood?
- Speaking the truth to each other?
Seem to me like how true and without faslehood one can be?
In one way or another.... theres away signs of us trying to bluff our way through or trying to cover ourself..... and speak truth?? How often to we come up with excuses of not doing things we dont want to do??
That is how GOD expects us to behave... always true and nothing false.... how difficult it might seem... think only through GOD grace then can we reach that kind of standard....
The later part of the versus
Be angry and yet do not sin??
how can i be angry and not sin at all... anger to me is like the root to hate (at least for that momment of anger).....
but then again after much thinking....
i guess it means be angry of the unrighteouseness but yet do not sin by hating but after being angry, we are to be forgiving like christ.
It only deem to me that how unlike christ i have been.... that often being fasle about somethings and how unforgiving one can be...
The conculsion that i have drawn over the years still never change... that it is almost impossible to be christ like... but we can only strive being closer to HIS standards with HIS help and grace, hopefully when the day we meet HIM , He might say well done, good and faithful servant.
