For taking your time to study remain blessed. INSTRUCTION FOR CHRISTIAN LIVING
JUNE Tuesday 5th
Text: Ephesians 4:17-32
Key Verse:2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
The believer at conversion becomes a brand-new person on the inside renewed after God’s image. Through the operation of the Holy Spirit, he receives a new life and is not the same any more. He is not reformed, rehabilitated, or reeducated – he is re-created, living in vital union with Christ. He is not just turning a new leaf, he is beginning a new life under a new Master – Jesus. The new life as a Christian should be clear for everybody to see. People should be able to see the difference between Christians and non-Christians because of the way Christians live. The brightness of the light cannot be hidden in darkness. Here are ten instructions for a new life in Christ Jesus.
1. You can no longer walk in the way of the world. The way of the world is the way of sin compromise and vanity, the broad way. Those who walk in the broad way have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. Rather, walk as a child of light (Eph. 4:17).
2. Learn and know the truth about Christ and His command. Live by them because that is your life. The ignorant are blind and cannot see danger when faced with one. That is why they perish
3. Learn the truth of Christ and live by them.
4. Be renewed in your spirit and mind that you may know the perfect will of God and do it at all times.
5. Put away lying. Rather, speak to every man in truth and deal with your neighbour in righteousness. Bring your anger under control and contain your appetite to avoid greed. Do not give a place to the devil in your life. If you give him a hold he will turn it into a stronghold.
6. Let him that steals, steal no more. 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.
7. Cooperate with God in your spiritual growth and do not grieve His Spirit.
8. Put away all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, and malice.
9. Be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
10. Make heaven the focus of your life and live in expectation of the soon coming of Jesus Christ.
Thought for the day: Let your life reflect your new status in Christ.
Song for the day: When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word
Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 17-19; John 15
