Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.
The second very important aspect to this passage is this:
Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.
There are many ways that a person can be a bitter root.
We can gossip.
We can slander.
We can complain.
We can argue.
We can choose not to forgive.
We can be judgemental.
We can be selfish.
Like I said, there are many ways that we can become a bitter root. It’s very easy if we aren’t careful.
Because of this, it’s always important that we examine ourselves in light of scripture to make sure that we aren’t hindering anyone from seeing Christ in us.
Take a few minutes to pray and ask God to point out these things in your life. Don’t be a bitter root.
Pity the bitter root!
