But what does the bible say about that?
My adamic, base nature would retaliate if you offend me, but the bible says to "put off" malice and "put on" charity.
Yes, I'm a Put-On. I'm a phony. I choose to obey God's word, and ignore my natural tendencies of jealousy, malice, and envy.
But the beauty of this is that when I obey God's word and choose him over self's responses, He replaces my stony heart and begins to transform it into the heart of love that He wants me to have.
We are to "put on" charity until that which is perfect is come.
