ENEMIES: BIBLE VERSES (3)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Enemies

a) The Bible is God’s word to us.  Far to often, we take it for granted and don’t revere and treasure the word of God as we should.  One of the reasons that it is important that we read and know God’s word is because the Bible often tells us things that we would never grasp on our own.  Some things just don’t seem to make sense to our finite minds.  The words that we find in the Bible about enemies is one of those areas.  Our culture and society tells us to live for ourselves and to grab all of the gusto for ourselves.  Loving and forgiving our enemies is counter to our own sense of reasoning.   

Luke 6:27
But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.

2. Bible Verses

Proverbs 24:17   
Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles.

I have not let my mouth sin by asking for his life with a curse.

Proverbs 26:26   
Though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

O my Strength, I will watch for you, for you, O God, are my fortress.
