Dear Christ followers, we are born sinful and accepting Jesus and repenting does not mean that we are automatically becoming sinless. But it does mean that we need to sin less. Our bodies and our minds are under our own control and we have free will. This has been given to us by our loving FATHER so that we have the right to choose for ourselves the directions of our lives.
But if we want to sin less, we need to bring our bodies and our minds under the subjection of our desire to be more like Jesus.
This means training ourselves daily and the help of fellow Christ followers to be grow more humble, more kind, more patient, more loving and more generous of spirit.
This can be achieved with a daily dose of prayer, and not just one. We need to pray often and about everything. We need to read the Word of GOD. We need our fellow Christ followers to motivate us and to share in our lives.
We need to represent Jesus on earth and to shine HIS light on this earth.
And this is what Paul is saying in the passage above.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I humbly ask that YOU send YOUR Holy Spirit to fill me up daily and to convict me to train harder to become more and more like Jesus. Incline my ears to YOUR Word FATHER and incline my heart to be more like Jesus. I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay obediently Jesus Blessed today!
