walking with jesus
This is how we know we are in Him; Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. 1 john 2:6.
when we become born again of god, the old person has gone, the new has come!
we are literally a new creation, a new person.
we used to follow the ways of the world, approving of them, participating in them, but no more.
now these things are offensive to us.
we no longer can condone the worldly culture and the ways of the world and their attitudes on greed, pride, on abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, drag queens, false teachers, on idolizing politicians, movie stars, professional athletes, social media influencers etc.
we do not look at people that practice these things with judgement but like jesus, with compassion because they are harassed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd. Matthew 9:36
we spend our time differently:
we seek first the KINGDOM of god. Matthew 6:33.
we come to serve. Not to be served. put others first. Matthew 20:26-28
we live a self controlled, upright life. Titus 2:11-12
we work as though you are working for god with all our heart. Colossians 3:23
we go the extra mile. Matthew 5:41

we measure success by obedience to god's word. james 1:22
we live life with an attitude of GRATITUDE. Colossians 1:12
we build relationships. luke 10:5-9
we invest in eternal things. john 18:36
we KNOW THAT we REPRESENT JESUS IN THIS WORLD. 2 C0RINTHIANS 5:20
we BRING GLORY TO GOD AND SHOW OURSELVES TO BE DISCIPLES OF JESUS AS HE ENABLES US TO BEAR MUCH FRUIT. JOHN 15:8
we let our lifestyle cause people to take note that we have been with jesus. acts 4:13
we are person of integrity who fears god more than most people do. Nehemiah 7:2.
we revere christ as lord. always ready to point others to him. 1 peter 3:15
we dedicate ourselves to the understanding of the holiness of god and the truth of his word..
