You are part of a new people of God commissioned to display His gracious character to each other and to the world by living out Christ’s example.
If you don’t embrace the ""already but not yet"" reality of the Christian life, your expectations for change will be dangerously distorted.
Since you have died to this world, disconnect yourself from its enticements with God’s help.
Stop looking to this world for answers, and focus your mind instead on Christ and the life that He gives.
Real change is only possible when a regenerate person, relying on real power, chooses the right pursuits.
You can begin to experience eternal life now, but you must first know what it is.
If your desire is to get close to God, you will need to learn to suffer as Jesus did.
God wants you in a clearly identified relationship with a local church.
