Without the Love of God we can do Nothing for God.
In 1 Corinthians 13:2 it says,
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, AND HAVE NOT LOVE, I AM NOTHING.
+Without the love of God we are nothing.
+This tells us that we all get our value or worth from God’s love.
+When we love others we are giving them worth and value.
+This is why Jesus said in John 13:34 a new commandment I give unto you that you love one another as I have loved you…
+Love is the most powerful act we can demonstrate one to another.
+Remember Love never fails because God is Love, and Jesus said continue all of you in My Love.

Let’s examine True Love from God’s Point of View
+God is Love, 1Jn 4:7-13.
+Jesus is Truth, Jn 14:6; and the True Love of God is also in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, Rom 5:5.
+True Love is to know the only True God and Jesus Christ whom God has sent. Knowing True Love is also having Eternal Life. You cannot have one without the other.
+True Love is always in Christ in Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness, and Faith.
+True Love is Eternal and Powerful, and it never fails.
+The evidence of True Love is also demonstrated unconditionally in Giving, Compassion and Sacrifice.
+Never use Emotions and Affections to confirm True Love.
+Emotions and Affections can be misleading if misguided.
+Lead and guide your emotions and affections in Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith.

+One can given you emotions and affections and yet True Love is not in it.
+Again if Emotions and Affections are not in Love, in Truth, in Holiness, in Righteousness and in Faith, then these Emotions and Affections are motivation by SIN.
+It’s not only about what we are getting. We must pay close attention to the ingredients in the things we are getting. Amen!
+The consistent practice of True Love causes the Supernatural Power of God that is in us by the Holy Spirit to be released and flows from us into the lives of others, and also flows from others into our lives.
John 15:9 Jesus said:
I have LOVED you as the Father has LOVED me. Now continue in my LOVE.
+True Love is Supernaturally Powerful and changes lives for the better.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.
[Jude 1:24‭-‬25 NKJV]

Lust is a craving, or deep desire of the flesh. What are you lusting,or craving for ? Money, sex,or things.

“DO NOT LOVE THE WORLD OR THE THINGS IN THE WORLD. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. FOR ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD —THE LUST OF THE FLESH, the LUST OF THE EYES, and THE PRIDE OF LIFE —is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever”. (I John 2:15‭-‬17 NKJV).

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit”.(Galatians 5:16‭-‬25 NKJV).

“Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul”. (Proverbs 6:32 NKJV).

FINALLY

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you”. (Romans 8:1‭-‬11 NKJV)

If you don’t know, nor have never accepted JESUS as your personal Lord and Savior, go to the salvation page at the top of this blog, and follow the instructions.

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.
[Jude 1:24‭-‬25 NKJV]

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God”.(Romans 12:2 NKJV)

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us”. (I John 2:15‭-‬19 NKJV)

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was. But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work”. (II Timothy 3:1‭-‬17 NKJV).

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen”. [Jude 1:24‭-‬25 NKJV].

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever” . (Psalms 23:1‭-‬6 NKJV)

“HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust! For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. [Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, [Ps. 91:1, 14.] There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. [Luke 4:10, 11; Heb. 1:14.]

You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot. [Luke 10:19.] Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness–trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never]. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation”. (Psalm 91:1‭-‬16 AMPC)

“God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;..”(Psalms 46:1‭-‬2 NKJV)

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”(Jude 1:24‭-‬25 NKJV).

There’s a legal contract between God and man,that many people are not aware of. Do you know what a contract is?

A contract is a binding Agreement between two or more people. Which states your rights, privileges, and provisions for the rest of your life. This contract stipulates,and guarantee eternal life, forgiveness of sins,unlimited provisions, protections,and healing.

Who made this contract,and why ? GOD,Because HE loves us. Where is this contract written? IN THE BIBLE, do you have one ? How do we have access to this contract? THROUGH HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS. It says in the contract :

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” . (John 3:16‭-‬18 NKJV).

“If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us”. (I John 1:6‭-‬10 NKJV).

GOD’S CONTRACT GIVES US AN ALL INCLUSIVE RIGHT,ACCESS,AUTHORITY, POWER,PRIVILEGE, AND MORE TO WHATEVER WE WANT ACCORDING TO HIS WILL. REMEMBER, THAT GOD IS THE CREATOR AND OWNER OF THE WORLD.

“The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters”. (Psalms 24:1‭-‬2 ,1 Corinthians 10:26). So He can give us anything we want.

“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. “The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. “The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

“The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you. And the Lord will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them. So you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them..”. (Deuteronomy 28:1‭-‬14 NKJV)

DO YOU KNOW WHAT’S WRITTEN IN THE CONTRACT, BETWEEN GOD AND YOU? Every thing you need, and what you must do to get it,is written in the contract, called the BIBLE. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW, UNTIL YOU READ IT FOR YOURSELF. SO GO READ IT,AND IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND IT ,HE HAS SENT THE HOLY SPIRIT TO TEACH YOU.

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you”.
(John 14:26 NKJV).

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.
[Jude 1:24‭-‬25 NKJV]

The Power of God’s Word in us.
1Thess 2:13
For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, because, when all of you received the Word of God which all of you heard of us, all of you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in TRUTH, the WORD of GOD, which EFFECTUALLY WORKS also in you who BELIEVE.
Effectual: capable of producing all intents and purposes.
(Heb 4:12 AMP)
For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power making it active, operative, energizing, and effective…
+The WORD of God in us is Alive, Active, Operative, Energizing and Effective. It is capable of producing all the intents and purposes of God in us and through us.
+When we take man made medication we have no issues expecting the intents and purposes of what that man made medication is supposed to produce.
+How much more then shall we expect the Word of God to produce in us the intents and purposes of God in our lives.
Hallelujahs to Jesus and Amen!

Keys to Understand the Bible (God’s Word)
John 1:1-3
1 In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.
2 The same (the WORD) was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by Him (the WORD); and without Him (the WORD) was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:14
And the Word was made FLESH, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
1 Timothy 3:16
…God was manifest in the FLESH…
Keys to Understand:
1 The Word is God and God is the Word.
2 God and His Word are One.
3 The Word of God was Spoken by God, and likewise we must speak God’s Words.
4 The Word of God was Written. Through study and meditation the Word is written on our hearts.
5 The Word of God was Manifested. When we live by every Word of God it is the manifestation and demonstration of the Word of God.

+Remember these Scriptures…
John 1:14
And the Word was made FLESH, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER, full of Grace and Truth.
1 Timothy 3:16
…God was Manifest in the FLESH…
+Jesus is the Son of God, and the Word of God that was made flesh and Manifested in the flesh to us.
+Jesus is the Personification (the Embodiment) of the Word of God and also God.
Revelation 19:13
and His name (the Lord Jesus Christ) is called The WORD of God.
+EVERYTHING IN THE WORD OF GOD FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION MUST BE VIEWED AND UNDERSTOOD THROUGH THE LIFE AND MINISTRY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO IS THE WORD OF GOD.

GOD IS SAYING TO YOU:

My son/(daughter), do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you. Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones”.[Proverbs 3:1‭-‬8 NKJV].

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the STANDARD for your LIFE. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus Loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

If we can wait for,and on people, why not wait on God. Waiting upon the Lord is never in VAIN
+Are we ready and equipped for the things we are waiting for from God???
Isaiah 40:31 says:
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
+Many times there are conditions we need to meet in order to get God’s blessings.
+What God does in us while we wait upon Him sometimes it is more important than the things we asked for.
+We need Growth, Development, Equipping, Preparation and Maturation.
+This is needed to be Good Stewards of THINGS we waiting for from God.

Psalm 27:14 tells us to,WAIT on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

“Rest in the Lord, and WAIT PATIENTLY for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass”. (Psalms 37:7 NKJV)

“I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth— Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord”. (Psalms 40:1‭-‬3 NKJV).

“My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him”. (Psalms 62:5 NKJV).

+It’s worth the wait. Don’t quit.

LISTEN :
+Whenever we are waiting upon the Lord,Patience and Long-suffering must be exercised.
Patience and Long-suffering,is the capacity to accept and tolerate delay, trouble, persecutions, sufferings and such like things without getting angry or upset. But instead we must deal with the situation gracefully in Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith.
+This is not something we can do on our own. We need the help of God.
As Philippians 4:13 KJVS,tells us that,we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us. Therefore, we must elevate our Faith to the supernatural level, and do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
Then Philippians 2:13 KJVS,reminds us that
it is God Who works us both to will and to do of his good pleasure. wow! Isn’t that awesome.

“So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word”. (Hebrews 10:23 AMPC)

+So Avail yourself to always do whats right, and by the work of the Holy Spirit in you, you will always Prevail.

“Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]– To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it). [Jude 1:24‭-‬25 AMPC]

• So Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Without the Love of God we can do Nothing for God.
1 Corinthians 13:2
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, AND HAVE NOT LOVE, I AM NOTHING.
+Without the love of God we are nothing.
+This tells us that we all get our value or worth from God’s love.
+When we love others we are giving them worth and value.
+This is why Jesus said in John 13:34 a new commandment I give unto you that you love one another as I have loved you…
+Love is the most powerful act we can demonstrate one to another.
+Remember Love never fails because God is Love, and Jesus said continue all of you in My Love.

True Love from God’s Point of View

+Never use Emotions and Affections to confirm True Love.
+Emotions and Affections can be misleading if misguided.
+Lead and guide your emotions and affections in Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith.

+someone can give you emotions and affections , yet True Love is not in it.
+Again if Emotions and Affections are not in Love, in Truth, in Holiness, in Righteousness and in Faith, then these Emotions and Affections are motivated by SIN.
+It’s not only about what we are getting. We must pay close attention to the ingredients in the things we are getting. Amen!
+The consistent practice of True Love causes the Supernatural Power of God that is in us by the Holy Spirit to be released and flows from us into the lives of others, and also flows from others into our lives.
John 15:9 Jesus said:
I have LOVED you as the Father has LOVED me. Now continue in my LOVE.
+True Love is Supernaturally Powerful and changes lives for the better.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,..”.(Corinthians 5:17‭-‬18 NKJV)

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more.

Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.

For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”. (Romans 6:1‭-‬23 NKJV).

THEREFORE,

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God”. (Romans 12:1‭-‬2 NKJV).

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—…” (Ephesians 6:10‭-‬18 NKJV)

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen. (Jude 1:24‭-‬25 NKJV).
