We should live as genuinely regenerate Christians, consistently speaking and acting so that others are clearly shown the transforming power of God’s living and active Word.
We, as Christians graciously saved by God’s grace, ought to sincerely and resolutely aim at living a life that pleases the Lord.
We are engaged in an internal battle with temptation which will rage until we are glorified, and until then will require daily vigilance and the serious application of every available godly resource.
We are called to verbalize to our generation the saving grace of the gospel of Christ, while always promoting the preserving and enriching grace of good and beneficial deeds.
Responding rightly to Christ’s redemptive work should result in a growing love for God that produces good works, love for people, and a desire to obey the Bible’s commands.
Dig into the key verse for Book of Luke. We should rejoice in our salvation and pursue our sanctification knowing that when God works repentance in our lives his forgiving grace entirely covers our sins and permanently redirects our lives.
We must boldly and fearlessly make a godly difference in our daily environment, refusing to be conformed to the pattern of the world.
We can do a lot of self-serving and self-promoting in a cloak of religion, but true religion seeks to sincerely please God and will always drive us to give ourselves for the good of other people.
We ought to be amazed at God’s grace in patiently calling us to a genuine repentance and working in us a true conversion that necessarily brings about evident and lasting changes in our lives.
As Christ modeled in his own life, we must highly value and consistently invest in friendships with those who continue to demonstrate their commitment to obeying God’s word.
The right and saving response to Christ is dependent on the transformative work of God in our hearts, and results in an enduring resolve for doctrinal and behavioral fidelity to the truth.
A saving encounter with Christ changes one’s heart from “evil” to “good” and the evidence of a changed life will necessarily flow from that miraculous work of God.
Instead of wasting any more time trying to find meaningful life in our sinful pursuits, we must repent and trust in Christ to reconcile us to the God for whom we were made.
We should not presume we are reconciled to God if our belief in a ‘good creed’ has not also produced ‘good deeds’ which will flow daily from biblical repentance.
We must look carefully & prayerfully at our own lives to insure that it is God working in us and not just pressures & expectations that are shaping the course of our lives.
Real faith will be manifest in real life by your actions, encounters with God’s word and a daily and prayerful dependence on Christ.
The work of making us acceptable before God has been fully completed by Christ; we need to step into that benefit with total confidence that the work has been done!
Real Christians are changed from living for themselves to living for God; they do what is right throughout their lives because their hearts have been transformed.
As God’s Children (called by God to do good) we ought to be intentional about our lives, planning to do good while always distinguishing between God’s opposition and someone else’s.
