In this article, we discuss the nature of Saul, who was completely given over to pride, envy, ambition, and hatred. He would destroy anyone in his own way, including his own son. This is the savagery of pride, ambition, and envy run-amuck.
Being Spirit filled, in the book of Acts sense, leads to generosity and an attitude of brotherly love in the acquisition of wealth.
It’s human nature to want to retaliate when wronged especially when the actions are part of a systematic attack. Iniquitous laws are an ancient evil that God addresses many times in the Old and New Testament. When God’s people are oppressed, He sees and hears. Let Him handle it.
