Essential Christianity — Part Two

by Alistair Begg

Romans 12:20–21
 (ID: 2808)

Blessing our enemies may be the hardest commandment in all the New Testament to live up to. If our lives are truly shaped by grace, though, we will find ways to bring joy and truth to those who oppose us. Alistair Begg shows us that the foremost way we live out the truth of God’s love for us and others is by blessing those who curse us. This radical approach to combative people shows both fellow believers and a watching world that we truly belong to Christ.
