We say it, but do we
really believe it? Can you honestly say
that you are free from the power of sin and that you are a slave of
Christ? I believe that if we really are
free from the power of sin we would live more like Christ in His righteousness
and holiness. We would say no to sin
more often. We would be more
contemplative before we say and do things that may hurt others or
ourselves. We would think more
Biblically and be drawn to the things that would build us up instead of tear us
down. We would do a better job of
getting along with one another.
Being a slave of God
means that we are submissive to Him and obey Him. It means that we are indebted to Him and
depend on Him for our daily sustenance.
It means that we serve Him and put ourselves on the back burner. It means that we seek His glory and not our
own.
As His children, we
should be doing those things that lead us to holy living. It means that we daily take the time we need
to feed and nourish our souls. It means
that we intentionally strive to focus on those things which are pure and
wholesome for our souls. It means that
the pursuit of holiness governs our conversations and living.
When we act like we are
children of God, it results in eternal life with Him. It is the most powerful way to live on
earth. It is the way of contentment and
peace. It holds us steady through the
many ups and downs of life.
