This document discusses how what is in our hearts comes out in our words and actions. It notes that through faith in Jesus Christ and the gospel, our hearts have been changed so that God's law is written on them. It encourages keeping our hearts focused on serving others with Christ-like love in order to stay close to God and keep our minds off ourselves.
"Axing the Root of Bitterness" from Hebrews 12:12-15.
I'm convinced that most of us, at one time or another, have had someone that we have fallen out with. There have been times when anger has filled our hearts, & we felt that we would never be able to forgive & forget.
Maybe it was a brother or sister, a parent, someone at school, a business partner, a neighbor, or simply an acquaintance.
I don't know how many times I have had to ask for forgiveness, or that I have been forgiven. But there is nothing that will take the load off, nothing that will help you more, than the burden of bitterness being taken off of your heart. As someone has said, "To forgive is to live."
Jesus teaches us, "To fail to forgive is to block the flow of God's blessings." Jesus said in Matthew 18:35 "This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart."
When there is harshness, resentment, a spirit of retaliation or bitterness, this attitude becomes a dam, an obstacle to the grace of God so that it just simply cannot flow through our hearts.
Where there is bitterness and hatred , there is "No place for Grace"

[Romans8:12-17; Ephesians 5:15-21] — Clearly the Bible teaches that the Holy Spiirit indwells, influences and leads the child of God. The question is how does the Bible, (the Holy Spirit’s revelation) tell us He does it. — AUDIO PART 1 / AUDIO PART 2 / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF - 12/25/2016
There is no doubt that we are saved by the grace of God - but is this some mystical force - Paul teaches us in Titus 2:11-15 that God's grace teaches us how not to live, how to live as well as provides us with motivation to live and speak as the Grace of God instructs.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
