Dear Christ followers, as "born again" Christ followers, we need to walk in the newness of life.
No longer can we live as we used to, with impunity and under the law, sinners. Now, as "new creations in Christ", we literally need to mind our p's and q's.
The thing that is most noticeable about a person is their choice and use of language. As Christ followers, we need to guard our tongues.
No longer can we use bad language. No longer can we talk badly about people. No longer can we talk to people with anger or wrath. Rather, like Jesus did, we need to think and pray about our usage of our language.
This is really important. I believe that this is the reason that a lot of Christ followers are not taken seriously. Their language and use thereof belies their "born again" status that they now enjoy.
We need to pray earnestly to our FATHER to fill us daily with HIS Holy Spirit who will convict us to guard our hearts, our minds and most of all, our tongues.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU fill me with anew each and every day with YOUR Holy Spirit. FATHER help me to guard my heart, my mind but most of all, let me guard my tongue. FATHER convict me when I am hurtful, or when I use bad language. FATHER convict me when I gossip about or slander others. I pray this earnestly in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. My Lord and my Redeemer. Amen.
Be amazingly Jesus Blessed today!
