We need to know the practical relevance of God's Word in our lives. Here, in this QT, we are not dealing with authority figures, we are dealing with Brothers and Neighbours. Our heart attitude towards our Brothers and Neighbours needs to be in freedom. Hatred for Brothers and Neighbours needs to be resolved in our hearts first, then our heart attitudes can be right and our lives will not be troubled by them. As True Believers we should never be motivated by guilt, but be led by the Holy Spirit.
