But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sisterwill be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. Matthew 5:22
AW Tozer points out that "a man who can say “You fool” to a fellow man is revealing a state of heart which will fit him for hell in the end. The gravity of the situation lies not in the fact that a man can cry “Fool!” but that he can entertain in his heart the contempt which the word expresses."
As we've seen throughout our journey so far, God cares about our hearts, not our actions! He is concerned about they why of our actions, not the what. So, join me in reading Matthew 5 and be encouraged!
