Liver Properly
(2 Corinthians 5: 15)
” And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.”
The believers conduct is as well important to talk about, the apostles addressed it and gave us admonitions to live not in the former old ways but in the reality of our new nature, Paul puts it this way “Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News.” (Philippians 1:28)
This is not promoting a work mentality, but an understanding we must have that we longer live unto ourselves. We allow the Spirit of God gain dominance in our daily work and walk, bearing its fruits of Love, patience, joy, peace, self control, gentleness, goodness, meekness and faith.
Peter puts it this way, “Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world (1Pet.2:12NLT).
The Spirit of Christ in us helps us through this and so since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.
CONFESSION
I submit to the Lordship of Christ and I allow him work in and through me by His Spirit
Amen!
