THE LIFE OF GOD

This I say and solemnly testify in the Lord,

that you must no longer live as the heathen

do in their perverseness of their minds.

Their moral understanding is darkened

and their reasoning is beclouded.

They are alienated from the life of God

because of the 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 to unbridled

sensuality, eager and greedy to indulge

in every form of impurity.

But you did not so learn Christ!

Assuming that you have really heard Him

and been taught by Him, as Truth is in Jesus.

Strip yourselves of your … Continue Reading

STRIP

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.

one another.

When angry, do not sin; do not ever let

ALIVE

When you were dead in your sins

and the uncircumcision of your

sinful nature, God made you alive

with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,

having canceled the written code,

with its regulations, that was against us

and that stood opposed to us; He took

it away, nailing it to the cross. And having

disarmed the powers and authorities,

He made a public spectacle of them,

triumphing over them by the cross.

(Colossians 2.13-15).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

FORGIVE

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe

yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you

may have against one another.

Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

And over all these virtues put on love which

binds them all together in perfect unity.

(Colossians 3.12-14).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

“Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath

(passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment

(anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling,

clamor,contention) and slander (evil-speaking,

abusive or blasphemous language) be banished

from you, with all malice (strife, ill will, or

baseness of any kind).

And become useful, helpful and kind to one

another, tenderhearted (compassionate,

one another (readily and freely), as God in

Christ forgave you.”
