Live Life Differently
Ephesians 4 Verse 17: "Therefore I say this and testify in the Lord: You should no longer walk as the gentiles walk. In the futility of their thoughts".
There are some interesting instructions in the Christians life, and here is one of them. "Live no longer as the Gentile do". The Christian is not top imitate the life of the unsaved people around them. These people are dead because of their disobedience and the many trespasses.
Ephesians 2 Verse 1 and 2: V1: "And you were dead in your trespasses and sins".
V2: "In which you previously walked according to this worldly age, according to the ruler of the atmospheric domain, the spirit now working in the disobedient".
Being dead in sin does not imply that unbelievers can do no good or that they cannot respond to the Message of Salvation through God's initiating Grace. This describes their hopeless condition as separated from God.
Salvation which is God's free Gift to anyone who believes {John 3 Verse 16} removes the separation and locates the believers In Christ.
As Christians we have not simply changed our minds. We have totally changed our citizenship. We belong to God's New Creation In Christ and therefore, the ideas and desires of the old creation no lo0nger control our lives.
Through which we can live life differently.
God Bless
