How can you possess the miseries of envy when you possess in Christ the best of all portions? -- C. H. Spurgeon BEYOND ENVY Because we are frail, imperfect human beings, we are sometimes envious of others. But Gods Word warns us that envy is sin. Thus, we must guard ourselves against the natural tendency to feel resentment and jealousy when other people experience good fortune. As believers, we have absolutely no reason to be envious of any people on earth. After all, as Christians we are already recipients of the greatest gift in all creation: Gods grace. We have been promised the gift of eternal life through Gods only begotten Son, and we must count that gift as our most precious possession. So heres a simple suggestion that is guaranteed to bring you happiness: fill your heart with Gods love, Gods promises, and Gods Son . . . and when you do so, leave no room for envy, hatred, bitterness, or regret.
