We
were called to be imitators of God to live a life as Christ did when we were
yet sinners. Not that we have gained Christ’s
love by what we have done or are doing, on the contrary, because we love Christ we want our lives
to be fruitful producing positive things that will ultimately please the him. Our minds ought to be filled with pureness and our hearts with humility. Always being
mindful that we are to walk as the light of the world to impact the
lives of those that live in darkness.
Never forgetting that we were also once in darkness and thanks to the
prayers of others we came to see the light. As
we know that the love that comes out of us shall not be envy, boast, dishonorable, self-seeking, easily angered nor should it keep record of wrongs and delight in any evil. But our love shall protect, persevere, always trustworthy, hopeful, and truthful.
God’s
love is for everyone whether good or bad; how great is this love for it never
fails. Therefore, be careful how you live your life for you know that the enemy is prowling around seeking who he can devour. The ignorant
self-centered old man should be put away from within you for it has no
communion with God’s Spirit, who is in you.
Therefore, do not partake of any unwholesome talk, foolish behaviors,
get rid of the bitterness, anger, rage, brawling and slander and every form of
malice within you. For the fruit of the
Spirit empowers you to live righteously, be trustworthy, and be filled of goodness. Our lives ought to bless others, enlighten
their minds, encourage the weak and strengthen their faith.
Knowing
that we have been sealed with the Holy Spirit for the day of redemption our
priority is to continue building God’s kingdom.
Always remember that we are the light of the world separated to live it
accordingly to God’s will not ours.
2 Corinthians 3:5-8 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith;
test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless,
of course, you fail the test? And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test. Now we pray to God that you will not
do anything wrong—not so that people will see that we have stood the test but
so that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed. For we cannot do anything against the
truth, but only for the truth.
