Pursue peace with all people, and holiness,
without which no one will see the Lord
(Hebrews 12.14).
HALLELUJAH!THANK YOU LORD JESUS
FOREVERMORE!
So this I say and solemnly testify in the name of the Lord, that you
must no longer live as the heathen do in their perverseness (in the
folly, vanity, and emptiness of their souls and the futility) of their
minds.
Their moral understanding is darkened and their reasoning is clouded.
They are alienated from the life of God because of ignorance that is deep-
seated in them, due to their hardness of heart.
In their spiritual apathy they have become callous and past feeling and
reckless and have abandoned themselves as a prey to unbridled sensuality,
eager and greedy to indulge in every form of impurity that their depraved
desires may suggest and demand.
But you did not so learn Christ!
Assuming that you have really heard Him and been taught by Him, as all
Truth is in Jesus embodied and personified in Him,
Strip yourselves of your former nature which characterized your previous
manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring
from delusion;
And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind,
And put on the new nature created in God’s image, in true righteousness
and holiness.
(Ephesians 4. 17-24).
AMEN!
AMAZING CHANGE
For when you were slaves of sin,
you were free in regard to righteousness.
What fruit did you have then in the things
of which you are now ashamed?
For the end of those things is death.
But now having been set free from sin,
and having become slaves of God, you
have your fruit to holiness, and the end,
everlasting life.
For the wages of sin is death, but the
gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus
our Lord.
