"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'  44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect”. (Matthew 5:43) ("Trinity Study Center", 2011).

Only when one praises the God of Triune love, the God of mercy and grace, the God of the cross does one worship truly The Matthew stories are used to inspire righteousness, but also the consequences of council decision and judgment by God when facing such sins as murder. Jesus proceeds to teach that anger is the fuel of heinous sin and the importance of warning others when such thoughts come to mind (DiVincenzo, ed., 2015).

 “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” and Jesus immediately demonstrates this divine ability to forgive sins by miraculously healing a paralyzed man (Mark 2:1-12).

Using His Faithful and Godly powers, Jesus miraculously heals the man’s condition in front of a group of the ‘lost.’ The reason behind the Jesus’ actions was to demonstrate His divine Godly abilities to a group of verbally unfaithful gathers. Jesus speaks in response that men have the power to forgive for God’s strength of virtue and humanity is the Man is a direct reflection of God. Thus, following the path of God will allow forgiveness and a great in life (Weitnauer, 2013).
