Living as a child of God

in #steemchurch6 years ago

Grettings Brother Christian.

"As obedient children, not conforming to the lusts that were formerly in your ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, be you also holy in all your way of living." (1 Peter 1.14,15) This text portrays the life of a true son of God. It is clearly perceived that there was a change in their lifestyle. In practice, being a saint has nothing to do with an unattainable spiritual goal, but simply a purpose to remain whole before the illicit offerings of this world. In other words: to separate oneself from sin and to approach God in order to please Him in everything. When God is exalted in our lifestyle we are simply being holy!

We know that this world is lost in its unclean practices. Faced with so much injustice and infidelity, each of us must ask ourselves: are we living as children of God or not? If our answer is affirmative, God is being glorified. Let's see some evidence about this fact:

According to the Bible, they received Christ as Savior
it's written. "But to all who received him, he gave them power to be the children of God, who believe in his name" (John 1:12).

As a child of God who are guided by the Holy Spirit and is no longer bound by sin
which is written: "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God, because you have not received the spirit of slavery, to be in fear again, but you received the Spirit of adoption of children, for which we cry to Father Father. "(Romans 8.14-15)

As a child of God who practices righteousness, does not live in hatred, nor is he in darkness
It is written: "... and those who get drunk are drunk at night, but we, who are of the day, are sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and having as helmet the hope of salvation. "(1 Thessalonians 5.7-8)" In this the children of God are manifested, children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness, and does not love his brother, is not of God "(1 John 3.10)

As a child of God has a correct understanding of true worship
It is written: "And we know that the Son of God has come and given us understanding for him to know that it is true, and in what is true we are, that is, in his Son Jesus Christ." This is the true God and eternal life Children, beware of idols. "Amen" (1 John 5:20, 21) "So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if you are a son, you are also an heir of God through Christ. But when you did not know God, you served those who by nature are not gods. "(Galatians 4.7,8)

As a child of God to understand that God is separated from sin and his children must also
It is written: "Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children, and live in love, just as Christ also loved us, and gave himself for us as an offering and sacrifice with a pleasant aroma to God, but prostitution, and all impurity or greed, not even named among you, as it suits saints, or obscenities, or silly conversation, or immoral jokes that do not suit, but before, thanksgiving, because you know this well: that no immoral, or impure, or greedy, He is an idolater, he has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God, because you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord, walk as children of light "(Ephesians 5.1-5.8)
