For Wednesday evening services, the Lord has lead me to do a Bible study for practical Bible verses in Matthew. Please come back to these Bible lessons in order to review them and learn them. Whenever we have learned the meaning of Bible verses and think about them throughout each day, we will be in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). Not only that, but when we are in a situation in our daily lives and are tempted to sin, we can think back to what we have learned from the Bible and say to ourselves, "The Bible says to not do what I am tempted to say, think, do, and/or desire right now, so I am going to refuse to give in to this temptation." This is what Romans 12:2 means, and it says, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This is also the pattern that Jesus used when the devil tempted Him to sin in Matthew 4:1-11.

 

Chapter 18

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW

 

Matthew 18:15-18

15Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. 18Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

 

These verses give instructions for church discipline. If a professing Christian sins against another Christian, they should tell that person about it so they can ask God to forgive them and try not to do it again (repent). If they repent, that means they will have one way to know that they are really a Christian (Matthew 18:15). If the professing Christian who sins refuses to repent of their sin, the one who was sinned against should return to the professing Christian and take one or two other Christians with them in order to encourage the person to repent (Matthew 18:16). Finally, if the person refuses to repent again, the church should encourage them to repent of their sin. If the person refuses to repent this time, that proves they aren't really a Christian (Matthew 18:17). Matthew 18:18 is another way to say that if the person refuses to repent after the steps mentioned in this paragraph, that proves they aren't really a Christian. 

 

If you have prayed or made a descion to become a Christian, but you have verbally or physically sinned against a Christian (or anyone), ask them to forgive you and try not to do it again.
