Living Christian means gladly doing all of life in the interests of Jesus.
Let the message of Christ so fill your heart that it overflows into all your life.
You are called to display the character of Christ through the church by letting His peace rule your heart and by fighting contention with genuine thankfulness.
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.
