SECOND NATURE
Pay Back Time
Romans 12:17-21
Introduction: When we begin to follow Jesus, He gives us a Second and Better Nature that empowers us to love Others well- even those that Hurt us and are Difficult to Love.
Our Second Nature involves…
Loving with Authenticity & Hating what is Evil (Romans 12:9)
Embracing Others in Honor & Rejecting Passivity (Romans 12:10-11)
Gaining Perspective & Giving Generously (Romans 12:12-13)
Disarming Hostility & Equipping Empathy (Romans 12:14-15)
Opposing Partiality & Submitting in Humility (Romans 12:16)
Releasing & Recovering
- Releasing our Right to get Even (Romans 12:17)
- 3 Reactions to our Hurt:
- Revenge: The Action of Wrong-Doing Returned
- Bitterness: The Attitude of Wrong-Doing Fantasized
- Forgiveness: The Action & Attitude of Wrong-Doing Cancelled
- 3 Reactions to our Hurt:
- Recovering Peace (Romans 12:18)
- Being Offended is Unavoidable…but Living Offended is a Choice
Surrendering & Provoking
- Surrendering to God’s Justice (Romans 12:19)
- Not Surrendering to a Moment of Hurt…but to a Master of Healing
- Provoking Heart Change (Romans 12:20-21)

Those who are a Continual Problem
