How To
Live
THE
CHRISTIAN
LIFE
BELIEVE BELIEVE the record of the Bible that through Christ, you
have received eternal life (I John 5:10-13).
Then, by faith, walk in newness of life (II
Corinthians 5:17). Remember that you are
now a living testimony of the saving power of
the Lord Jesus Christ and that the new,
resurrection life of Christ is being manifested
in you forever, the believer.
--
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (II Corinthians 5:17)READ READ and study your Bible, memorizing
portions that are helpful and blessed to you.
Give special attention to the promises of God.
Meditate on these and they will be food for
your soul (I Peter 2:2). Remember that the
Word of God is the light to your pathway
(Psalm 119:105) and the weapon of your
warfare (Ephesians 6:17).
--
"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:" (I Peter 2:2).
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalms 119:105)
"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:" (Ephesians 6:17).PRAY PRAY daily to God, your heavenly Father, in
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank
Him for all things (Ephesians 5:20). Praise
God for His blessings (Philippians 4:6). Ask
God to give you victory over sin and weakness
(I John 1:9). Pray for the needs of others
when praying for your own needs. Remember
that your prayer life will keep you spiritually
strong and growing.
--
"Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;" (Ephesians 5:20).
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." (Philippians 4:6)
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (I John 1:9)
CONFESS CONFESS the Lord Jesus Christ as your
personal Saviour as often as you can. Do this
especially when your silence would mean
denying Him (Matthew 10:32-33). Use every
opportunity you have to tell others of what
the Lord Jesus Christ has done in your life.AVOID AVOID temptations. The Bible tells us that
they will come. But we must be careful not to
walk in their path (Psalm 1:1). When temp-
tations arise, remember that God has promised
a way of escape for those who faithfully serve
and obey Him (I Corinthians 10:13).
--
"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful." (Psalms 1:1)
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." (I Corinthians 10:13)WITNESS WITNESS to others about the Lord Jesus Christ
(Acts 1:8). Many today do not know Jesus
Christ as Saviour and Lord. Who will tell them?
(Romans 10:13-14). The believer's greatest
joy is the privilege of telling the good news of
the gospel to every creature. Witnessing for
Christ is not only a blessed privilege but a
Divine command (Matthew 4:19).
--
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." (Acts 1:8)
"And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4:19)
SERVE SERVE the Lord with gladness (Psalm 100:2).
God has a regular ministry for every believer
(I Corinthians 12:12-21). Assemble regularly
in a Bible-believing, separated church (Hebrews
10:25). Invest your time, talents and money for
eternity (Colossians 3:1-3).
--
"Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing." (Psalms 100:2)
"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." (Hebrews 10:25)STAND STAND firmly on the Word of God (Ephesians
6:10-18). Beware of false teachers and false
doctrines (II Peter 2:1-3). Test everything by
the Word of God, not by experience (Isaiah
8:20). Remember that God has promised the
victory to those who honour Him and His
Holy Word (I Corinthians 15:58).
--
"To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." (Isaiah 8:20)
"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." (I Corinthians 15:58)F. E. A.
