Ephesians 4:30-32

30 And do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he is the one who has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption.

31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of malicious behavior. 32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. (NLT)

 

Our identity is in Christ Jesus. We are identified as God’s children and as His children we need to act in accordance with His word. We represent God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore we need to put aside all the worldly behavior and put on God’s behavior – kindness, love, tenderness, patience and forgiving one another just as God did through Christ forgiving us. We tend to act like those that we are around most, so spend a lot of time with Jesus and others will begin to see that you are a lot like Him.

 

Engage the Present – Create the Future – With Jesus Christ
