I chose question #2

2. What are some of the reasons that can cause us to begin to hate other believers?
jealousy, self-righteousness, pride
A. If we have a “just” cause and there is no repentance or desire for forgiveness, are we justified in harboring resentment?
I don't believe we would ever have a good enough reason to hold on to resentment. I thank the Lord that he forgives my confessed sin and looks on it no more.
B. What must we do? (Matt. l8:15–17; Eph. 4:32)
Confront the one who you feel wronged you. Take care to be kind and forgiving.
C. Why is it necessary? (Heb. 12:15)
We are to operate through God's grace.  Bitterness can be the beginning of trouble spreading and affecting others negatively.
D. Who gets the advantage when we don't forgive?
Our enemy, the devil.
E. Is there someone in your life now that you are bitter towards? What will you do about it on the basis of this lesson?
Continue prayer to be willing to forgive.
F. If the situation doesn't change, how can you change? (l Thess. 5:18; 4:1; Phil.4:8)
Think on things that are good and continually praise the Lord for my blessings.
G. How can forgiving be done by faith?
God knows how to handle any situation better than I do. 
see Romans 12:19

Have a great week everyone and God Bless !
Zephaniah 3:17
