How do upright Christians become bitter? Although people may say that they are indifferent toward someone or a situation, a bitter person is really indifferent toward God. Bitterness is the negative response in having our expectations undesirably changed. Ignorant of God's perfect will, many Christians resist God, shackling themselves with bitterness. We must keep our eyes on the Lord, for His grace alone can protect us from our fallen nature. If we continually resist God, our bitterness with strengthen; if we humbly rely on God, His grace will abound. May we as God's children never hinder fellowship with Him by bitterness.
“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.” Hebrews 12:14;15
