Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
No man in his natural, carnal state is going to turn the other cheek, if someone deliberately does him wrong. When persons are wronged in the U.S they will sue the daylights out of the offender, for it isn’t indigenous in sinful human nature to let offenders off the hook.
Again, the following passage presents profound and literal impossibilities to our natural sinful nature and it is indeed futile for a person to attempt any of that which Jesus is teaching, without the change of heart which God alone can give. Basically, in a nutshell not happening! These be-attitudes do not occur naturally in human nature, for we are born at the opposite end of the spectrum, when it comes to inherent goodness. It is not to be found naturally, in babies, in tweenagers, in adults, nor in grandparents.
One day, someone offended the child of an elderly woman, full of gray hair, and when the elderly lady got wind of it, she showed up on the scene and she threatened to shoot up the offender if the situation was not resolved in her child’s favor. Therefore, the truth about us must now be disclosed.
Psalms 51:5 Behold, I was shaped in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
