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).
You post out of anger and ignorance. You think you're are this virtuous women, but anybody with an ounce of Biblical knowledge knows you are way off base. Cutting & pasting articles, scriptures and links proves nothing about your knowledge. But what you say and how you react to questions and criticisms shows your ignorance and mentality.
You may not like what myself and others say to you but we don't speak out of anger or ignorance. That honor is all yours.
Moonfright, you were asked a question about your Bible reading habits. Once again, as your usual habit, you refuse to answer questions. But you never refuse to attack the person asking.
So, DO you regularly read scripture, have you ever read the Bible in its entirety⁉️⁉️
Perhaps you’re ashamed of your lack of Bible knowledge and understanding. Maybe that’s why you won’t answer HC’s question.
Reading the Bible in a year is easy—just follow the yearly plan day by day and at the end of the year you can say you’ve read the entire Bible. It’s just that simple
BTW, you’ve never answered the question concerning the meaning of being born again. Is it because you’re not really born again⁉️
The Bible says all sin is if the devil 1st John 3:8. If there were no sinners around, there would be no sin as sinners are around to produce the sin. Likewise, when you have righteous people around, you will have righteousness. We see that not many Christians are interested in breaking free from their sin and departing from iniquity. They are told the same lie by out-of-context preachers from bible college that nobody is without sin, only Jesus, and use out-of-context scriptures to bewitch people out of their salvation. The apostle Paul preached that if he were to build up the things he destroyed he would be a transgressor Galatians 2:18-21. For most Christians, verse 17 of Galatians 2 applies as they claim to be justified by Christ, and yet they still sin. They act like their father, the devil, still, so is Christ your minister to do the devil's dirty work? God forbid. John says in 1st John 1:6 that you claim to have fellowship with Jesus, and you still walk in darkness ((sin)). You are the liars and do not know the truth.
Jesus came so that we can be made free from that mess of sin as sin is death Romans 6:23 hell fire and brimstone and not love. Most Christians are going to hell with the love of God in their eyes and it is not the true love from the love of the truth. Jesus's love is not for you to be cast into but for you to clean up by coming out from among them perverted churches loaded with unbelievers and vain deceit 2nd Cor 6:11-18 & 2nd Cor 7:1. These churches teaching philosophies by proud knowing nothing preachers are preaching for your pocketbook and not for the saving of the soul. Synagogue of Satan Rev 3:9. The congregation comes out with the same doctrines, not knowing what they are saying, except what their preacher told them through vain jangling preaching.
I am an ex-sinner saved by grace Romans 6:18. An ex-sinner is a righteous person and not a sinner. Jesus preached few will make it in while the church lies and says God loves everybody. That is one too many people for Jesus to love Rev 3:19-20. If God loves everybody why the bible? Why did he make a hell? Because he does not love everybody as everybody does not want to come to his love Jesus. Being a sinner is not God's love in Christ. Jesus's words are spirit and life John 6:63, and Jesus came so that we can be washed free and clear from all sin and be like him. Rev 1:5-6. Christians have no interest in being like Jesus with the same mind Philippians 2:5 and the same spirit that rose him from the dead Romans 8:11. Christians have no interest but to rebel against Jesus' words to argue with him as the church does to promote their doctrines of devils and seducing spirits by using out of context scriptures, philosophy, and vain deceit. The preacher has their neve to come up with delusional ideas that do not match the bible but match a false church doctrine all for the pocketbook and their belly.
Jesus is not coming back for liars who pervert his words as he is looking for righteous people and not for sinners. He is looking at those who are perfect as he told us this in Matthew 5:48. There were perfect people before, during and after Christ. Jesus is not interested in meeting sinning Christians who just want to rebel against his words and act like their father the devil dead in their sin as rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft 1st Samuel 15:23. No wonder Christians can:t stop sinning they have the sin of witchcraft in them. Why burn? Why sin? The wages of sin are hell; It pays to sin, it pays to serve the devil, and your wages or payment is hellfire and brimstone as sin brings darkness, disease, sickness, etc. GetBorn Again comes out from among the churches as they are getting ready for another abomination called Easter, which is a pagan holiday Acts 12:3. One verse or chapter says to celebrate the resurrection says to walk in the likeness of it Romans 6:5. Many churches will lie and cover it up saying it is Passover promoting their abominations just under a new name. Christ is our Passover sacrificed for us 1st Cor 5:6-8. Get born of God in Christ Jesus and you will sin not 1st John 3:9. Live holy life 1st Peter 1: 15-16
Second thought, maybe you’d all still be at a disadvantage. Maybe you should recruit some more false teachers. Make it 29 to 1‼️‼️😃😎 Just to make it fair‼️😅
