Stop being mean, bad-tempered, and angry. Quarreling, harsh words, and dislike of others should have no place in your lives. {Eph 4:31 TLB}
It is the Life of Christ that validates your christian life, hence the need to stop those things that seek to make your christianity of no effect. Stop quarreling, use of harsh words, and dislike of others(resentment). Quarreling and harsh/abusive language work hand in hand. Quarrel is a verbal dispute or heated argument caused mainly by the use of harsh/abusive language on someone, while resentment is a feeling of deep or bitter anger and ill-will that leads to either hatred or dislike for someone. The aim of these vices if allowed in the life of a believer, is to destroy your personal relationship with others and to mar your image/integrity. These things wants to always dominate your life, but the Bible says – fight the good fight of faith. Resisting the control of these vices in your life through the work of the Holy Spirit is a part of the good fight of faith you as a believer must engage in. Our advice mainly for parents don’t abuse your children verbally because it destroys their self esteem and makes them more aggressive.
The life of Christ is the essence of Christianity.
Have a Grace filled day.
