LIVE LIKE WHO YOU ARE
1John 3 : 2 & 3
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Now we know that our change will take place when Christ returns, for now we carry our flesh with us. Thus the need to be cautious. When sin or works of the flesh is talked about it is an instruction:
Romans 13:12
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Ephesians 4:22
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Colossians 3:8
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
We are to put off the fleshy nature and to put on our nature of righteousness. It is a farse to walk in the flesh, for actually, those things that lead us into sin are actually falsehood. If we are wise to acknowledge them before they dwell in our minds we overcome them and see them for the disgust they are.
If only we can see how disgusting those things that defile the body are, if only we see how we are belittled in the spirit when we allow sin to have it's way in our life, we would shut it down and destroy it with all passion.
Definitely when Christ returns we will receive a new body, but while we wait we must wear the nature of who we have become. Sons of God. We are nothing less.
John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
So what is making a mess of your glory in the Father. What can we give more priority than our place with God. Nothing, all other things are vanity.
May the Lord give us our daily strength to live like who we have become "His Sons"
Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
PRAYER
Loving Father, let Your Spirit continually lead us that we might live like who You have made us to be. We excel and do exploits bringing glory to Your name daily. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.
He calls us blessed.
Love
@the watcher
