Bless and do not curse

It is good that we bless all that who do evil, but also those who do good, ask God to change the life of everyone who do things that are not pleasing in the eyes of God and to guide them on the right way.

Envy is something that persecutes people, this is because they do not focus on what they have but that they look at what their partner has, and this is bad in the eyes of God. God does not like people who are envious of the blessings of others.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

Romans 12:14

Let us give thanks for those people who persecute us, those who point us and who seek the way to make us fall and who also want our destruction, let us not pay bad for evil but ask the Father to help them change their mentality.

In these times we live this, what is called envy with others, there are people who commit murder by the blessing of their comrades, among other types of atrocities.

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.

Romans 12:15

But we also have a moment of joy, which we share in families and friends where we laugh, we also have a time to mourn, where perhaps a loved one is leaving us or for other things that happen in our daily lives.

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

Romans 12:16

We must be unanimous, be compassionate to people, humble and help the homeless, because God has called us with a spirit of patience, not to be haughty, because God does not like this. To the people who are haughty God looks at them, as His word says, for He looks at them from afar and humbly up close. Let us not be wise in our own opinion, God is the one who gives wisdom, because all those who become wise in their own opinion, will reach the moment where they will stumble and fall, and this is because of their haughtiness.

When Paul writes these verses to the church in Rome, he is giving them a series of instructions that go far beyond simple moral recommendations; he is presenting a model of Christian conduct that reflects the very heart of Christ. Blessing our enemies is not something that comes naturally to us. By instinct, the human heart wants revenge, wants to defend itself, wants to use harsh words against those who mistreat us. However, Paul reminds us that the true believer must respond from a supernatural perspective, guided not by impulse but by the Holy Spirit.

This teaching becomes even more important in a world where hatred, insults and confrontations seem to be the norm. Today, many people respond aggressively for the smallest things, and this creates an atmosphere where envy and conflict grow easily. In contrast, the Christian is called to sow peace, even in places where peace seems impossible. Blessing those who persecute us is not a sign of weakness, but of spiritual maturity. It means recognizing that God is our defender and that He alone sees the intentions and hearts of all.

In addition to this, Paul commands us to rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn. This is a powerful call to empathy. Many people struggle to genuinely celebrate the victories of others because their hearts are full of comparisons, jealousy or insecurity. But when love reigns in our lives, we are able to be happy for the blessings of our brothers and sisters, understanding that every good gift comes from God. Likewise, we are also called to stand beside the afflicted, not with empty words but with a genuine presence that reflects the compassion of Christ.

Finally, Paul urges us to live in harmony, to reject pride, and to walk in humility. Pride destroys relationships, blinds the heart and distances man from the will of God. Humility, on the other hand, opens doors, heals wounds and draws us closer to the character of Christ. A humble person understands that everything he possesses—wisdom, abilities, blessings—comes from the grace of God and not from personal merit.

May these teachings inspire us each day to live differently, to imitate Christ in our reactions, our thoughts and our treatment of others. For the world may preach revenge, but the gospel calls us to love, humility and compassion.
