In the Christians’ perspectives, everyone in this world has been sinful since the creation of humanity. However, they also advise people at least try to do good things in life because virtue is always welcomed to the Kingdom of Heaven while bad actions will only lead to the hand of Satan. The Holy Bible is a precious book teaching God’s children about how to stand against earthly depravity and follow God’s rules of morality. Remarkably, Romans 12 and the Sermon on the Mount teach people the most basic conducts to follow in the context of morality—that is speaking nicely, not judging other people, and having mercy to the enemy.
1. Jesus told his apostles to love their enemies and treat others well even if they don’t do the same; he told them to do what they would want done to them. If they expect nothing in return, they will be rewarded and be seen good in the eyes of God. Jesus was teaching compassion and selflessness. This parable is the origin of the saying “Treat others how you want to be treated.”
Having a biblical worldview helps me remember what God says in his scripture” Do unto others as you would want them to do to you. We should treat others with respect and love for them and we should never be mean to others. We should love one another like God loves us.
“Love your neighbor as yourself.” This command, given by Jesus’ in Mark 12:31, tells everybody love others just as much as themselves. David Malter, a very Christ-like character from The Chosen, by Chaim Potok, puts this command into practice. He exemplifies many of Jesus’ most valuable character-traits. Although Mr. Malter does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah, he still follows many of his commands without even knowing it.
Consider 1 John 4:19: “We love him because he first loved us”(NKJV) and Matthew 25:40: “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me”(NKJV). We should love others not out of duty to God, but out of love and thankfulness for everything he has done for
Furthermore, “Loving Your Enemies” is something that is immensely complex, however extremely possible and essential for humankind to exist harmoniously in this corrupt society. As he said in this “We will be able to matriculate into the university of eternal life because, we have the power to love our enemies,to bless those persons that cursed us, to even decide to be good, to those persons who hated us,and we even prayed for those persons who despitefully used
The Best Way To Respond To Conflict In times of war, history shows how people from across cultures respond to conflict. In World War ll, some people responded to conflict by mass genocide, hate, fear, and by losing faith. Many people saw each other different, showing that it’s right to be cruel to others just by their religion. This mistreatment lead to damage of people 's thoughts, emotions, and the way of seeing things.
John Winthrop’s “A Model of Christian Charity” showed that the people valued their God most importantly for their God was their only hope in surviving in a new environment. Jonathan Edwards’ “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” was said very seriously and was taken seriously by the people who listened to the sermon. Edwards focused on a lot towards how sinners will be punished by God and will suffer an eternal punishment if they did not change their ways. Qualities shown were very serious and religious to achieve a well functioning society. George Washington’s Rules of Civility were also serious and showed that people must show the qualities of honesty, respectfulness, and self discipline.
Anna Mow once said, “’Peace is an attitude, the kind that doesn’t create dissension. We create hostility when we turn away from what the other person is saying instead of listening to understand. The primary task is to perceive the perspective of those who differ with us’” (Long 146). Anna Mow covers a great point.
In Ephesians 2:10 it’s says “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” This verse explains that everyone’s identity needs to be found in Christ not others. As you see in A Separate Peace Gene’s focus is becoming like Finny instead of becoming Christ like. In James 3:14-16 it says “But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
Isaiah 59:8 illustrates, "The way of peace they do not know, and there is no justice in their paths. " Clearly, Scripture recognizes the existence of flaws of the behavior in man. Injustice comes in many forms. Racism, prejudice, false judgment, and stereotyping are all skewed perceptions. These distortions spill over into behaviors and human interactions, often resulting in the suffering of the innocent.
We must spread love. King states that there are two steps in loving one’s enemy. The first step is forgiveness and most importantly, the second is being able to see the good in the individual that has done wrong. There is ill in the good and there is graciousness in the bad. The hardest part is being able to recognize the kindness in an enemy.
Yes, he tells us to live at peace with one another but sometimes to live in peace, we must have a Just War. The next topic is the idea that war creates evil, but does it really? Take World War I, did fighting Hitler create evil? No, it did not create evil but stopped evil. The war does not always have to create evil, it could stop evil.
The irony is, religion tells us to love one another and treat each other with
Lastly,the verses that talk about proper good manners for the society and as well as for the
