Practicing Christianity: Notes from "The Joy of Fearing God" by Jerry Bridges

Notes from "The Joy of Fearing God" by Jerry Bridges


page 162 - If we express our fear of God by keeping all His decrees and commands as Moses said (Deut 6:2), then we must give attention to our interpersonal relationships.

Consider, for example the following from Romans 12:

Love sincerely (v9), Be devoted to one another in brotherly love (10)

Honor others above yourself (10)

Share with others in need (13)

Practice hospitality (13)

Bless those who persecute you (14)

Rejoice with those who rejoice (15)

Mourn with those who mourn (15)

Live in harmony with one another (16)

Do not be proud or conceited (16)

Do not repay evil for evil (17)

Seek to live at peace with everyone (18)

Do not seek revenge (19)

Overcome evil with good (21)
