It Is Time

It is time that if we call ourselves or accept the title or label of Christian that we . . .

. . . put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming. You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. (Colossians 3:5-10 NLT)

We are not our own. We are dead to sin and Christ lives in us. Is our acts his acts?

Lord forgive us, strengthen us to allow your nature to be what flow out so the world may see real Christianity.

Be blessed today
