Moonlight7 View Profile History	Christian means Following Jesus Christ teaching Posted : 6 Feb, 2025 11:41 AM Biblical article for Those who like to Read . Self Explanatory 1. Living for Jesus means we have died to sin. Romans 6 is a beautiful description of a Christian who chooses daily to consider himself dead to sin and alive to Christ (verses 6–8). Being dead to sin means we no longer consider sinning against God a viable option. The decision was made when we bowed at the cross and were born again by grace through faith. Though we will still stumble at times, sin no longer masters us. Just as a corpse does not lust, covet, or gossip, those who are dead to sin do not heed temptation (Galatians 2:20). 2. Living for Jesus means we have only one God. This is the first commandment (Exodus 20:3), yet people can and do make gods out of anything. John Calvin rightly stated, “The human heart is an idol factory.” We recognize our false gods by asking ourselves a question: What is it that I am unwilling to lay on the altar? Whatever we refuse to give to God becomes our god. Living for Jesus means we continually search our hearts for idols that steal our time and affection away from total devotion to Him (2 Corinthians 11:3). 3. Living for Jesus means we diligently study His Word. Second Timothy 2:15 says, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” Correctly handling God’s Word is vital for one who wants to avoid deception and live as salt and light in this world (Matthew 5:13–16). Unless we know the heart of God, we will violate His standards and lead others to do the same. We discover His heart when we pursue the “whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27) and apply it regularly to our lives. 4. Living for Jesus means we use our gifts to serve God and others. We strive to live as Jesus lived. We study Him in the Scriptures and pattern our lives after His (1 Corinthians 11:1). He was kind, so we imitate His kindness. He gave unselfishly, so we set aside our preferences and devote our time, resources, and energy to His purposes (1 Corinthians 10:31). People who live for Jesus discover their spiritual gifts and utilize them to impact their world (1 Corinthians 12:7–11). Living for Jesus means we find our greatest fulfillment in serving Him. Pleasing Him is our reward (2 Corinthians 5:9). Got Questions Ministries. Post Reply

Handyman62 View Profile History	Christian means Following Jesus Christ teaching Posted : 6 Feb, 2025 03:25 PM Unfortunately moonrocks is playing the same game that many women play, only in her case she's playing the game on steroids. Nobody likes to be wrong and women hate it more than men. But whats worse about women is how they react. Women tend to use the victim card most often, but calling names, false accusations, shaming tactics and ignoring questions are all used quite frequently. For whatever reason moondust has decided to fight a battle where she could be a winner but she's keeping herself on the losing side. But she doesn't have to be if she would only get past whatever has her stuck in this loop of calling names, false accusations, shaming tactics and not answering the questions. I vote that it's Satan that has her there so she needs to recognize that before she can progress. I pray the scales fall from her eyes in Jesus name. Post Reply

LittleDavid View Profile History	Christian means Following Jesus Christ teaching Posted : 6 Feb, 2025 04:59 PM Moonlight, I’ve asked why you don’t seek answers from your teachers. Answers, no doubt, that you could bring to the forums. You’ve never done that even though it might help you with some of the questions others have asked you about Post Reply
