The first thing to learn is that righteousness is a free gift. It was freely given. No man can earn their salvation.
Never get too modern with your Christianity that consecration becomes old school.
If what you know does not affect your life then you don't really know what you think you know. The proof of knowledge is action.
If you want to live better as a Christian you must have fellowship. You must have people in your life that can hold you accountable.
We must learn to be stirred to good works when we see others doing so.
