Guiltless

If we don't know that anything we are doing is wrong then we are guilt free.  Being held accountable of something that we didn't know was wrong seems unjust and unfair.  But just because we didn't know at the time doesn't mean it isn't wrong in the eyes of others.

John 9:41 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains."

God shows us what we have done in the past and allows us to decide for ourself if our actions are acceptable in the eyes of God, or not.  God doesn't punish us but allows the results of our actions to govern us individually. Negative people will feed off of our bad behavior & positive people will feed off of our positive behavior.

Everything we do, God gives us the freedom and opportunity to choose wisely or poorly.

Offensive

Most people don't like hearing the truth because it means we have to change or at least accept failure in some sort of way.  Change and failure are just ways for us to grow in the future.  It may not help us right now though, first we have to get over the initial shock and guilt.

What we shouldn't do is take offense to those that are providing an alternate look at things.  God is correcting us and also provides a way out of our situation, but we usually don't see it until after. 

Galatians 4:16, "Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?"

 It's easy to take offense in situations because things don't go the way we planned.  God will judge the truth in everything when the time comes, so we can wait on that truth.  Right now all we can do is our best to stay truthful.

Anger

 Anger is not wrong, nor is it looked down on in the Bible.  If you read the Bible you will see that God gets angry.  We see earthlings get angry and that reveals the worst side of people. If we don't have a healthy mental balance then our anger turns into revenge, spite, hatred, rage, name calling, malice, viciousness, slander, abuse, and scheming. Totally self-centered!

Eph 4:26, "In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,

All anger is or should be is a way to reveal your inner passions.  To let people know that they have reached your boundary of what you are comfortable with.  Problem is, we don't know how to stop there.  We let other things control our anger; if we don't get our way, if you're making me work when I don't want to, you won't love me, I want that, I'm too stressed, I'm unable to talk to people, I'm tired, etc.

So in order to be angry in a fair way, we need to not be afraid, selfish, or avoid the truth, but rather pull our own weight. Sharing the truth should make us feel better, just as anger relieves the pressure.

The Law

I hear people talking about injustice all the time!  The Lord Jesus experienced injustice daily and had the ability to snap His fingers and correct every injustice in the world, but He didn't! Why??

 The Bible talks about a woman incessantly petitioning a judge about injustice in: Luke 18:8 "I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"

What we don't see is God's plan to work through us in order to get others to see the error of their own ways.  If everyone is beaten into correction, then the LAW rules, and there's no room for faith.  If people must be abused, shamed, demoralized, and shunned because of their personal sins, then grace is not needed.

So if the world is ruled by the law when Jesus returns, then who will Jesus take with Him to Heaven?  Maybe the law helps us take the focus off of our self.  Singer David Crowder said it best; "Afflictions eclipsed by glory".

Freedom

We don't really realize just what our unbridled opinions and actions can do!!  If we don't care about anyone else then we will do only what is good for us, never pondering our actions.  The world tells us that "if it feels good then do it". The Bible tells us to not live selfishly, to put others first, and to be a good example to others.  The biggest problem is that we don't see what we done until someone else repeats it.  Even then it's hard to imagine that we have that kind of power.  The Bible says:

 Job 35:8 Your wickedness only affects humans like yourself, and your righteousness only other people.

Someone is emulating someone else every second on this earth, be it good or bad!  What are we going to say when we are standing in front of God trying to come up with an excuse for our actions that lead soooo many people to a life of sin?
