We must choose to practice biblical generosity, motivated by Christ’s gracious example rather than mere agreement with its principles.

Godly generosity is grounded in what God has done for us and begins when our hearts are gripped by it.

We ought to be attentive to the work of sanctification taking place around us, and intentionally affirm, celebrate, and be encouraged by the growth in holiness we see.

We must practice a repentance that takes sin seriously, accepts whatever pain it requires, and works diligently to restore sincere obedience.

Because God intends our relationships in the church to be marked by a quality that the world cannot match, we must be serious about building friendships that are uniquely loving, loyal, and encouraging.

Actively and carefully pursue holiness in your mind and body for the sake of our great God who said we will draw near to us when we do.

God wants us to pursue moral purity as his distinctive people, which he has promised will increase our daily experience of fellowship, joy, and assurance with him.

We must guard the personal partnerships in our lives, so our devotion to Christ is not imperiled and our usefulness to the Lord remains uncompromised.

We should continually pursue an affectionate and joyful unity within the church—willing to stretch for it even when others aren’t—appealing for it through loving, sincere words and actions.

Be an effective and determined Ambassador of Christ, willing to endure the hardships, while maintaining your integrity and sincere love for others.
