30. Forbearance Under Wrong

Today’s reading: pp. 485, 486.

No other victory we can gain will be so precious as the victory gained over self.

Key Word

• Self-control

Questions

• What two things must we remember?
• Romans 2:1 finishes by saying that when we judge another we “do the same things”. What are some of those things listed in Romans 1:26–2:1? Does judgement really make us just as guilty as doing the same thing?
• Do the vices you listed for the question above have as big effect on your character development as a lack of the Holy Spirit fruit of self-control (Gal. 5:23)?
• Why is gaining victory over “self” so precious?
• What should we not allow?
• What are we to live for? Do you think this is why Jesus overcame (see page 17, first paragraph)?
• Under the heading of “Not allowing our feelings to be hurt”, what are the 6 practical steps we can take?
• The last step mentioned is memorise and repeat, when under pressure, 4 promises. Would that be a good idea? Have you started to memorise these verses?
