True Living

In my Inbox today:

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.  – Romans 8:5-6

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, set your mind on the things of the Spirit. What does that mean? By FAITH strive for holiness. You have been set apart for God and His Kingdom. Be about advancing His Kingdom. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness – BE CHRISTLIKE! Out of love be obedient to your Father in heaven. It means that whether you eat or drink, or WHATEVER you do, do all to the glory of God.

Remember that the world has nothing to offer. All the Christian needs is taken care for us by our Father. Our greatest pursuits in life should be to love the LORD our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength,  love others, strive to be pleasing to Him, and pursue with all my might in His strength to be more and more like Jesus. THAT IS TRUE LIVING!

“Be filled with the Spirit. Seek to be more and more under His blessed influence. Strive to have every thought, word, action, and habit brought under the obedience to the leading of the Holy Ghost. Grieve Him not by inconsistencies and conformity to the world. Quench Him not by trifling with little infirmities and small besetting sins. Seek rather to have Him ruling and reigning more completely over you every week that you live.” J.C. Ryle
