Titus 3:2-7

Based on Titus 3:1a, 2-7

Put them in mind… To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

When other people hurt us, saying things that are hateful or just deceived, we can remember that we were once this way also. The kindness of Jesus Christ has allowed us to be forgiven for our own hate and with that same kindness Jesus wants to remove the hate from our lives by His Holy Spirit.
I want Jesus to remove the hate from me, why don't we ask Him now?
