The way we live: Part 1!!

We, as Born Again believers  must look, speak and act differently than the world.  We must do it the Jesus way.  We must walk with love, hope, joy and peace.  Be the light in the world.  Always be obedient to what Jesus says.  Obedience is the key to the blessings God has for you.  Never compromise.  People are going to hate you, gossip about you and turn their backs on you.  You are going to lose friends, even family.  We are here to please God and not man.  We have to put Jesus first in our lives and be obedient to His voice and not to the world's voice.  The world's way will say you can't, but Jesus' way says you can do everything through Christ.  Luke 21:17: "Everyone will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish.  Stand firm, and you will win life." Acts 5:29: " Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!" Philippians 4:13: "For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." Stand firm no matter what is going on around you.  Don't look at your circumstances but look to God.  Seek God first in everything you do, and not men.  Matthew 6:33: "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need."
