Put away the old man
Ephesians 4:22-24 That ye put off
concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to
the deceitful lusts; 23And be
renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24And that ye
put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true
holiness.
God's amazing grace, like the song
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found,
Was blind but now I see.
The Lord's children are marked with the blood of Jesus Christ, and with
righteous. As Christian we must hold unto the truth of the word of God, and
live according to what is written.
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the
foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are
his. And, Let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Called to be holy
I Peter 1:13-16 Wherefore gird up
the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to
be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 As obedient
children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your
ignorance: 15
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of
conversation; 16
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Stop, the curse words, and dirty jokes
Ephesians 5:4 Neither filthiness,
nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving
of thanks.
Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt
communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of
edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
The Godly will Be Delivered
II Peter 2:7-9 And
delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For
that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his
righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 The
Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the
unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
The backslider is turned back to its old ways, it's like a dog going
back to its own vomit again.
II Peter 2:
20-22 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the
world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are
again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than
the beginning. 21 For it had
been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after
they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto
them. 22
But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is
turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in
the mire.
Our holy living is seen through the instruction of the Lord in the
spirit, this is how we hold strong to a Godly living.
I Corinthians 2: 14-16 14
But the natural man receiveth not the
things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he
know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he
that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But
we have the mind of Christ.
The Lamp of the Body
Matthew 6:22-23
The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But
if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore
the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Your good deeds of work are not complete with Christ, Jesus unless you
have faith, and works together. (Faith is believing in Jesus Christ, and living
the Holy word of God.)
James 2:18-20 Yea, a man may say,
Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I
will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest
that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But
wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
