Anger
Matthew 5:23-24 “Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;” “Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.”
We
must, as Christians, love our brothers and sisters in Christ as we do
ourselves. God will not accept offerings made from a heart full of
bitterness. If we take communion with bitterness in our hearts, we
may drink sickness, and sometimes death unto our bodies.
Quickly forgive everyone and particularly the brothers and sisters in Christ. God desires that we love each other. We do not love the sins in someone lives, but we love the person. Hate the sin and love the sinner.
Such wrongful attitudes should be dealt with and made right. Reconciliation between brothers must be accomplished whether the “innocent” (Mat. 5:23-24) or the “offending” (Mat. 5:25-26) brother takes the first step.
