Greetings to all, let us thank God for His favor that allows us to rest from the stressful and emotional times we face daily. May He help us balance and change our ways as we continue to live for Him every day. Amen
When we say and then live our lives as Christians, we testify that we are now new on the inside. Each day we live, with the Holy Spirit's help, we have the opportunity to put aside our old ways and habits and put on new and better ones.
In our quiet time, as we refresh and meditate on the word, we won't be perfect or even sinless, but we will gain more knowledge, and our new way of thinking and being like Christ will be the result.
Ephesians 4:22-24 (MSG)
22 Since, then, we do not have the excuse of ignorance, everything—and I do mean everything—connected with that old way of life has to go. It's rotten through and through. Get rid of it! And then take on an entirely new way of life—a God-fashioned life,
23 a life renewed from the inside
24 and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you.
Lesson: While our Changes and newness will begin on the inside, those around us should eventually notice an outward transformation or change in our day-to-day living.
And when they tell us, we've changed, each of us can say when we live a God-Fashioned life, we're supposed to.
