Neighbor Wisely (5 of 9)
Series: Uncommon Sense
Josh Malone
Proverbs 3:27-32
In the midst of the last week you may have noticed... people checking on one another... you have had a neighbor ask... ''You ready for the storm?'' In the aftermath people have opened their homes, shared their food and water, generators, helped with cleanup. We've gotten to witness many neighbors being just that... neighborly. -- Storms like this bring a lot of things to mind but one of them is how much we need one another and how important is is to live well in relation to others. You need your neighbors and they need you.
The Bible puts a major emphasis on how we relate to OTHERS. The first humans were told to be fruitful and multiply, to fill the earth. From the beginning God's plan was an earth teeming with people stewarding His earth well, living in harmony with one another.
In fact, the OT Law teaches love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength and to love our neighbor as ourself. -- When Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment was he said it was in fact to love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength and that the second was like it... to love your neighbor as yourself. -- Love God, love people.
Christians who are to be pursuing love of God and others should be the worlds's best neighbors... No matter where you go in the Bible you will see an emphasis on being a good neighbor, on loving you neighbor. - The OT Law, the gospels, the epistles, and wisdom literature.
We said in week one of our Proverbs series, Uncommon Sense, that wisdom is a spiritual issue. It's a gospel issue. When we know Jesus we know the Ultimate Wise One and He begins to make us wise. Jesus wants us to walk in wisdom not folly.
Today I want to talk about the idea of neighboring wisely from Proverbs. When we are wise neighbors our communities benefit, the poor benefit, we benefit, everyone flourishes... if we neighbor poorly... we all suffer. -- Neighboring is a ...
