Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast

Keeping Love Alive - Volume 4 - A Christ-Like Relationship to Personal Attacks and Injustice, Part 1


Listen Later

We all carry around emotional wounds. Whether it was something someone said or did, those scars stick with you. But what happens when that deep hurt comes from your spouse? How we act toward our spouse in arguments or tense circumstances is vital to the health of our relationships. In this program, Chip’s gonna teach us how to respond well to pain and injustice – especially when it comes from our mate.

Main Points
Great marriages are characterized by couples who refuse to repay evil for evil within or outside their relationship.
  • Translation = Every couple wounds one another, and injustice, betrayal, and personal attacks will happen to all of us from within and outside the church. Those who learn to overcome evil will prosper, those who don’t will be destroyed.
  • The principle = We must extend the mercy and forgiveness to others that Jesus has extended to us. --Colossians 3:12-14; Ephesians 4:32
  • Developing a Christ-like relationship to personal attacks requires:
    • We know Jesus’ teaching. --Matthew 5:43-48
    • We practice overcoming evil. --Romans 12:14-21
    • What do you need to believe about God’s character to help you overcome evil with good?
      • God’s sovereignty. --Genesis 50:20; Romans 8:28-29
      • God’s mercy. --Matthew 18:21-23
      • Conclusion: Resentment, bitterness, and unforgiveness are like cancers that eat away at our soul and destroy our love; we must forgive our mates as Jesus has forgiven us.
