We live holy lives because of what God's Word commands, because of the cost of Christ's death.

Following our own desires, what we want instead of what God wants for us is what shapes us. Our desires need to line up with God's plan and a holy lifestyle.

The idea of fashioning our lives. We choose whether we let our desires rule us or God's will mold us.

The definition of girding up your mind: preparing your mental attitude for the spiritual battle of the Christian.

Commitment to faith in Christ comes from your love of Him. Joy is the result of the surrender of your life to God.

Trials test and refine our faith. Our faith is strengthened as we go through the trials.

We have joy because of the person of Christ. Jesus understands how we feel in the trials we go through.

God keeps us through His Holy Spirit, His Word and His power that can control our lives. Hide God's Word in your heart and mind so it changes how you live.

Because Christ is alive we have a certain hope for our present, future and eternity. Our faith is kept by the Word in our hearts and by the Holy Spirit living in us.
