Welcome to an new Bible Study on “How to Set Healthy Boundaries and Responding with Love and Grace!

Let’s reason and take an inspiring verse to vers look at the following Bible Scripture verses below, followed with a summary and uplifting Prayer before GOD’S throne-room:

1. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23)

This verse emphasizes the importance of guarding our hearts. Setting healthy boundaries is a way to protect our hearts from harmful influences and emotions. By being diligent in our boundaries, we ensure that our lives are guided by wisdom and godly principles.

2. “Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.” (Matthew 18:15-17)

JESUS provides a clear process for addressing conflicts and setting boundaries. First, approach the person privately. If they do not listen, involve others. This approach ensures that boundaries are set with love and a desire for reconciliation, rather than out of anger or resentment.

3.”With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” (Ephesians 4:2-3)

Paul encourages us to respond with humility, gentleness, and patience. Setting boundaries should be done with a spirit of love and a desire to maintain unity. This verse reminds us that our actions should reflect the peace and love of CHRIST.

4. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” (1 Peter 5:8-9)

These encouraging scripture verses warns us to be alert and vigilant against the schemes of the devil. Setting healthy boundaries is a way to resist the enemy’s attempts to harm us. By standing firm in our faith and setting clear boundaries, we protect ourselves and others from spiritual attacks.

5. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23)

The fruits of the Spirit provide a guide for how to set boundaries and respond to others. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control should characterize our interactions. When we set boundaries with these qualities, we do so in a way that honors our almighty dear HEAVENLY FATHER and promotes healthy relationships.

6. “He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.”
(Proverbs 25:28)

This verse highlights the importance of self control and setting boundaries. Without selfcontrol, we are vulnerable to the influences of others and to our own emotions. Setting boundaries helps us maintain our spiritual and emotional integrity.
