Today, Liz, JR and Rey C. had our Bible study at Starbucks. We talked about the changes that happen to a person who accepts Christ as their Saviour.
Changes in ways, in words, in works, and in will.
Read Mark 5Once a person becomes a Christian, his Ways change.He no longer practices his old ways. He may have retained some but is constantly under construction for becoming better.
Change in Words.
Not only does our ways change but our words become wholesome. What used to be a fountain of lies is now a fountain of blessing. We have new words! Words from the Bible! We should no longer be uttering gossip or lies or cursing. Let this be far named among us.
Change in Works
Good works should litter your way. Your life should be full of good work. We may be the only Bible that others are gonna read. Let them read your life as one that glorifies God, and not one that puts your Saviour to shame.
Change in Will
Our decisions should be controlled by HIS will and not our own will. Our will should be submerged entirely upon his own will.
These are not all that should change....
As the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
We have the power in us to do this. The Holy Spirit himself enables us to change because he dwells in us.
May we find comfort in knowing that God hath begun a good work in us and will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: (Phil. 1:6).
Amen
