The things that have been made, which we can see around us on the earth today, were not made by visible things (Hebrews 11:3, Colossians 1:16).
Also, the Bible confirms this: ‘Do you not know that to whom you give yourselves as servants to obey, you are servants to the one you obey? You may serve sin – which leads to death – or you may serve obedience – which leads to being righteousness of God (Romans 6:16).
This passage in the bible shows that a person’s actions or behaviour do not happen by chance. They come directly from what we choose to allow and accept, whether that is living rightly or living against God’s law (Romans 8:2, Romans 6:16).
This means that when you see how someone behaves, it confirms what they are choosing to follow. So instead of dealing with the person themselves, you should address the spiritual power behind their actions (Ephesians 6:12).
Understanding this simple truth from the Bible will help you to love others as yourself and to look past when people upset or offend you. It will also help you to stand firm and take your place in spiritual warfare (Matthew 22:37, Ephesians 6:12).
