The Christian life is lived on the basis of a righteousness not our own just as we are justified. And this righteousness will manifest itself in our daily conduct. If we claim to be in Christ, and yet practice sin, then we do not possess eternal; we have succumbed to Satan's chief lie.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is the gospel of peace- those born of the Spirit will evidence that spiritual birth by walking in the path of peace. But the religious world and popular culture offer another path on to which many Christians stray- the path of felt needs, experience, success, and personal significance. This lesson is an exhortation to return to the path of peace, and a reminder of how you can know you are born of the Spirit.

The reason many people enter into illicit or otherwise unhealthy relationships is that they are seeking peace and contentment in another person. This never works, and robs you of the genuine peace and contentment which is yours in Christ, alone. It is tragic that many professing Christians do not possess genuine peace. Could it be they are not born of the Spirit-- In today's churches, it is likely they are not. In this episode, we examine what it means to be born of the Spirit, and the shalom which is the birthright of those so born.

The forming of genuine, healthy relationships begins in discovering the peace that comes from setting our minds on God and his attributes. We need peace, God's peace, and to seek that peace and well-being in others instead of God leads only to chaos, pain, and misery. The peace we seek is ours by inheritance in Christ, alone. How do we appropriate it-- That's the topic of this lesson.

In this episode, we examine codpendence as idolatry, that is, seeking to form an alliance with another person -s- to get our needs met in ways that edge God out of the picture. The solution is Christ between us and over us as Lord of all our relationships.

To love one another is not a flowery ideal, but the evidence one has been born of God- this is the testimony of the apostle John. To know God is to love, and to love like God loves. So, Christian love is not sentimental moralism, caretaking, or codependent control- rather, it is walking in the Spirit and practical care for others with Christlike character. It is the chief evidence that we are in walking in truth.
