how to behave

[mel85]

I meet others who are , less than me, like I know more scripture I live a good life. How shall I behave with this person( who is less than me in scripture or other things). 

 

Shall I show that I am more righteous than him or shall I point him to Lord Jesus.

 

 

 

Thank you!

Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. :3  Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. :4  Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. :5  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
'Cause I get better lookin' each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
But I'm doin' the best that I can!

The latter - it is always safe to look to Him and point others to Him!  Conversely, pointing to ourselves usually results in pride (not realizing that in ourselves we are nothing).

"The Lord resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."  1 Peter 5:5

For me I wouldn't consider anyone at all as somehow "lesser than" myself as a person simply because they may know less or perhaps understand less scripture than myself,  because I don't think many wise by the standards of this world are even chosen, God is shown choosing the foolish things of the world to confound the wise and so most start out the same in respects to that truth, regardless if one is a babe or not. But if they are a babe in Christ desiring the pure milk of the word. They should be encouraged to grow thereby.

And encourage them to continue in the same

2 Ti 3:13 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

2 Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

2 Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2 Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

And seeing that all scripture is profitable for reproof, I always found this verse encouraging 

Prov 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

Followed up by what Jesus did

Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

Just as here it says,

Job 32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

Always show them Jesus because he is the righteousness of God

TRUTH  OF  THE  LORD 

 

2 TIMOTHY 4:1  I charge thee therefore before  GOD  and  THE  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST  who shall judge the quick and the dead at  HIS  appearing and  HIS  kingdom

--4:2--  preach the word  ---  be instant in season out of season --- reprove rebuke exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine ---

 

1 TIMOTHY 3:15  but if I tarry long that thou mayest know how  ---  thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of  GOD  ---  which is the church of the living  GOD  the  --- pillar and ground of the truth ---

--3:16-- and without controversy great is the mystery of godliness  --- GOD  was manifest in the flesh --- JUSTIFIED  IN  THE  SPIRIT ---  seen of angels preached unto the gentiles  ---  believed on in the world received up into glory ---

 

MATTHEW 12:36  but I say unto you that every idle word that men shall speak they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment 

--12:37-- FOR  BY  THY  WORDS  THOU  SHALT  BE  -- JUSTIFIED --  and by thy words thou shalt be condemned 

JOHN 6:63  it is the spirit that quickeneth the flesh profiteth nothing the words that I speak unto you --- THEY  ARE  SPIRIT  AND  THEY  ARE  LIFE ---

 

MATTHEW 13:23  but he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word and understandeth it --- which also beareth fruit and bringeth forth  ---  some an hundredfold  ---  some sixty  ---  some thirty ---

 

--13:24--  another parable put  HE  forth unto them saying the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field 

--13:25--  but while men slept his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way 

--13:26--  but when the blade was sprung up and brought forth fruit --- then appeared the tares also 

--13:27--  so the servants of the household came and said unto him sir didst not thou sow good seed in thy field from whence then hath it tares 

--13:28--  he said unto them an enemy hath done this the servants said unto him wilt thou then that we go and gather them up 

 

--13:29--  BUT  HE  SAID  NO  LEST  WHILE  YOU  GATHER  UP  THE  TARES  YOU  ROOT  UP  ALSO  THE  WHEAT  WITH  THEM 

--13:30--  LET  BOTH  GROW  TOGETHER  UNTIL THE  HARVEST  AND  IN  THE  TIME  OF  HARVEST  I  WILL  SAY  TO  THE  REAPERS  GATHER  YE  TOGETHER  FIRST  THE  TARES   AND  BIND  THEM  IN  BUNDLES  TO  BURN  THEM  BUT  GATHER  THE  WHEAT  INTO  MY  BARN

MATTHEW  9:3:37  then saith he unto  HIS  disciples the harvest is plenteous but the laborers are few

--9:38--  pray you therefore  THE  LORD  of the harvest that he will send forth laborers into   HIS  harvest

 

***********

HEBREWS 10:36  for you have need of patience that after you have done the will of  GOD  you might receive the promise 

ROMANS 13:11  and that knowing the time that now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed 

                                                                                                                                                   ***********

 

MATTHEW 10:35  for I am come to set a man at variance against his father and the daughter against her mother and the daughter in law against her mother in law

--10:36--  AND  A  MANS  FOES  SHALL  BE  THEY  OF  HIS  OWN  HOUSEHOLD 

 

JOHN 14:15  --IF-- YOU  LOVE  ME !!!  KEEP   --MY--   COMMANDMENTS 

 

LOVING  THE  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST

You know, you were just complaining about someone else doing exactly this to you on another forum. Literally. And here you are doing the exact same thing. 

You know exactly of what I speak. 

Food for thought.

No,  I am not complaining, against someone else here but I have shared because I meets others here in India.

I am not here to complain
