Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation but it is not to the sinful
nature, to live according to it. For if you live according to the sinful
nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the
body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of
God. Romans 8:12-14 NIV
If you know you are in Jesus Christ, then you are obliged to live a holy
life! A holy life is a wholesome life Guided by the Holy Spirit! True it begins
on the inside and manifests on the outside! If your dressing is still worldly
(including the wearing of clothing that reveal sensitive parts or your
anatomy), then you are failing in your obligations to live a holy life! The
misdeeds of the body are very obvious; even though today, we pass everything
off as "looking good" etc.! Who do we deceive? None other than
ourselves; because God is not mocked, we shall reap whatever we sow!!!
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite
thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue
thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And
whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that
asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Matthew
5:39-42 KJV
In Christ Jesus, you must be willing to play the "fool"! Yes!
Let the whole world take you for a fool and take advantage of you; only because
you know who you believe! You know that your reward awaits!!!
And He said to them, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has
left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the
kingdom of God, who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the
age to come, eternal life." Luke 18:29,30 NASB
Forsake all for Jesus Christ is what we're Called to do! Let nothing be
more important to you than Jesus Christ (in every way - including His
Instructions)! Learn to listen out for His Voice with the willingness to obey;
then you will be pleasing Him - because you're living/walking by faith! Your
reward shall be richly plentiful in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have
nothing to do with s*xual sin, impurity, lust, and shameful desires. Don't be
greedy for the good things of this life, for that is idolatry. God's terrible
anger will come upon those who do such things. You used to do them when your
life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger,
rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language.
Colossians 3:5-8 NLT
Let go completely of the sinful way of life; temptations will come your
way, but you just have to learn to say no and always look the other way! This
is not easy, but doable only through Jesus Christ's Enabling! You risk God's
Wrath coming upon you if you do not take heed of His Word even in this
regard!!!
(28) Then Jesus answered and said to her, 'O woman, great is your faith!
Let it be to you as you desire.' And her daughter was healed from that very
hour. Matthew 15:28
How is your faith? Do you have faith? Today's world teaches us to wait to
see before we believe! Hmmm! On the contrary! Jesus Expects us to believe and
be sure of what we hope for and certain even though we have not yet
received/seen it! That is faith! So, judge yourself; do you have faith! Please
don't deceive yourself!!!
