The Christian Life
The apostle Paul wrote,
“As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:1-6.
Here is a reason we should read the Bible directly. Paul here tells Christians how to live.
1/ Live a life worthy of the calling of Jesus.
2/ Be humble and gentle,
3/ Be patient.
4/ Bear with ones fellow Christians in Love.
5/ Do your best to keep “the unity of the Spirit through the bond of Peace.
If we as Christians live such lives then the world will see what we have and want what we have. The apostle Peter said,
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
Dear friends,
I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.
Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.” 1 Peter 2:9-12.
If you claim to be a Christian,
please think about it.
