A TRUE CHRISTIAN

2 CORINTHIANS 5:15

15. and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

If you received the Lord Jesus as your Savior from sin, you have everlasting life.  Now, can you do just as you please?  NO! God says you should not keep on sinning.  Jesus died to set you free from the power of sin.  He did this so that you could stop living for yourself and live for Him.

God wants you to be more and more like His Son every day.  What was Jesus like?  Hebrews 1:9 says He " loved righteousness (goodness) and hared lawlessness (sin)."  Ask Jesus to help you turn away from sin and do good.  Remember how much God loves you and wants to show His love through you as you obey him.

Christ not only died and rose again, but He now lives in me.  He lives in YOU if you have received Him as your savior!  Jesus does not want only a portion of your life.  He wants to have all of it.  If you let Him take charge of your whole life others will know that Jesus is living in you.  The things you do will be what He would do.  Your thoughts will be pleasing to Him.  The words you speak will be kind and loving as His words. 

In couponing, remember to always be honest.  God wants you to live as he.  Do you think he would be dishonest and make duplicate copies of coupons. No, he wouldn't.   

Thought of the Week:

A Bible that is falling apart, often belongs to someone who isn't.  It's there for a reason, read it! :)
