Proverbs of a 40 yr old man
To enjoy true freedom is to live the disciplined life. But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life. Amen. We need a behavior that matches our position in Christ. For God raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Daily we are being sanctified by the presence of Holy Spirit in us. The Spirit of Christ is positioned in us so that we may grow in our faith to such a high calling of God. We live in a holy freedom that gives us the grace each day to serve Jesus seated with Him. What the LORD ask from his believers is to be living sacrifices holy and pleasing unto Him. Working out our salvation in fear and trembling giving honor to Jesus our LORD and Savior every day of our lives. We get to live the disciplined life before God as we are born again and remade in the image of God. What an amazing work of redemption God has planned. To call us children of God, Kings and priests, servants of the Most High God, and friends of God. Even though while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. And even though we are not perfect his love is perfect. Perfecting us daily to be able to carry our Cross and follow Him. What a gift to be free from sin and receive the power from Jesus to live the disciplined life. Yes, The Lord corrects the people he loves and disciplines those he calls his own. As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father? If God doesn’t discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children at all. Since we respected our earthly fathers who disciplined us, shouldn’t we submit even more to the discipline of the Father of our spirits, and live forever? Amen. Thank you God for daily making me into the man of God you have called me to be. Changing my behavior to match the position you have seated me with Christ Jesus my LORD.
Study Col. 3:1
