As believers we are to live right in a wrong world. In the new series that I started last week about "Living Above Medocrity." I am using the life of Daniel a young teenage boy who made the choice to live right in a wrong world. That as believers today we need to make a choice to live right, when the world is all wrong.
I was journaling this morning from 1 Corinthians 6 and when I came to verse 11, it spoke to me about this area of our living. New Living says it this way - "There was a time when some of you were just like that (living a sinful lifestyle), but now your sins have been washed away, and you have been set apart for God - you have been made right with God because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and Spirit of God have DONE in you."
We need to remember that there was a day that we were sinners, and knew only how to sin, but that was before we were born again and our sins were washed away, and now the Holy Spirit has set us apart from sin and now set apart to God. We are a new creation and our lives should be different in our daily living.
If you are reading this post, and you have never come to a real realtionship with Jesus Christ, then today is the day to ask Jesus Christ into your life, and to ask Him to forgive you of all your sins!
Jesus is the only way that we can live right in a wrong world!!!
Daniel was a man who lived coram deo - he was more concerned with the fact that he lived before the face of God than the face of men. what a great example he is to all of us today. when we are more concerned with what God thinks of us than what others think of us, we are finally free. Great series on living above the line!
