When our inclinations to the things of God become manner of life the things of the world will not matter.

This is where the life of the believer starts. The past of the believer sank with Jesus in redemption. It ceased to exist upon His resurrection. The man in Christ has put on the very nature of the risen Christ where all things are new.

It's true that we don't have to experience certain things to glean a lesson. Many times we need to learn from the mistakes or accuracy of those who have gone ahead of us. This is also a truth that scripture portrays. Let's learn from the old..

The fact that those who died before the resurrection of Jesus didn't put on immortality after the resurrection of Jesus shows truly God had something better for us. The indwelling of the Spirit.

We must be committed to the message we have received. One of the major signs of our commitments to the Lord's cause is our commitment to the message.

The growth of the believer and his disposition in life is regulated by what his heart receives consistently. God has shown us His method. Let us follow through.

The instructions given to us in the Epistles are for our benefit. In the instructions given lies the solution we seek. Results are incumbent on instructions. Following the word diligently will always produce what it takes about in you.

Once our inclination to towards the things of God begin to wane our inclinations to this world will be intensified. We must stay devoted to the Lord at all cost.

This one virtue we must recover and sustain in the church. Having moderation in our appetite is noble and virtuous. Greed will lead to distortion of Truth just to make money. Serving God with contentment is the real deal. The gospel isn't a money making tool.

The Spirit in us is our eternal security. What this means is this, we can't perish. He is the guarantee of our putting on immortality.
