Morally Right

We are not to think too highly of ourselves while finding fault in others. We all need forgiveness that comes from Jesus. 


 Luke 18:10  “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 

Luke 18:11  The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 

Luke 18:12  I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ 

Luke 18:13  But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 

Luke 18:14  I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” 


If we do not forgive others then we will not be forgiven. It is best that we get our own lives in order. All will answer to God for their life.  In Christ Jesus we have forgiveness and so we should be forgiving of others.


1Pe 2:21  This is what you were chosen to do. Christ gave you an example to follow. He suffered for you. So you should do the same as he did: 

1Pe 2:22  "He never sinned, and he never told a lie." 

1Pe 2:23  People insulted him, but he did not insult them back. He suffered, but he did not threaten anyone. No, he let God take care of him. God is the one who judges rightly. 

1Pe 2:24  Christ carried our sins in his body on the cross. He did this so that we would stop living for sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you were healed.
