Confession

This matter of confession is Important. We do not need to go thru any person dead or alive.

"Make confession to the Lord God.". Ezra 10:11

"Your fellow man cannot absolve you from sin or cleanse you from iniquity. Jesus is the only one who can give you peace." Testimonies, Vol. 5, p 649, Ellen G White

You shall Not Murder

They cherished the most bitter hatred against other peoples, and even hated their own countrymen who did not conform to their ideas.  In all this they were violating the law, "you shall not murder."

The spirit of hatred and revenge originated with Satan.  Whoever cherishes malice or unkindness is cherishing the same spirit, and it's fruit is death!

God has shown how high a value He places upon every person, and He gives no liberty to speak contempt of another.  We shall see faults and weaknesses in those about us, but God claims every person as His own.  Even the most degraded are to be treated with respect and tenderness.

 God will hold us accountable for even one word spoken in contempt of one person for whom Christ has died.

Every person..

Every person is created by the same God,
Purchased by the blood of the same Saviour,
And has an individual life as dear to God as any other.
