1 Peter 1:13-14

A Call to Holy Living

13 So think clearly and exercise self-control. Look forward to the special blessings that will come to you at the return of Jesus Christ. 14 Obey God because you are his children. Don't slip back into your old ways of doing evil; you didn't know any better then. (NLT)

 

Jesus gives you blessings as you live here on earth, but at His return there will be even more. So we are to look forward to His return for His return itself is a blessing because you get to spend eternity with Him. So think clearly, do not let the ways of the world creep into your life but rather exercise self-control and let the Holy Spirit guide you. Obey God. Why? Because you are His children and you represent His kingdom. Always be moving forward in Christ and do not go backwards into your old life for your life in Christ is far superior then to the old ways. Christ is now your life live in Him.
