” For God has called you to live in peace.” 1 Corinthians 7:15
” God paid a high price for you, so don’t be enslaved by the world.” 1 Corinthians 7:23
Each of us as followers of Jesus have been called by the Lord. He has called our name to help bring others to Him. Because of our calling we can confirm that he has called us to live in peace. Our lives are to reflect a calmness with the assurance that our Lord will help us through anything we confront. Our attitudes and our temperament are to be calming and not irrational. In times when this world is in disarray, we are to stand tall with the faith that our Lord knows the answers to the problems, and that he is in total control. Our response to our calling should be one of strong and healthy reliance upon Him. We are not to think as the world does but instead to think as the Holy Spirit directs. Our relationship to our Lord is a oneness in thought, word and deed. We should think like the Lord, speak like the Lord, and live like the Lord. God has paid a high price for us, and we are not to allow ourselves to become enslaved by what goes on by the actions of the world around us. We are to stand tall and separate ourselves from those actions. We are to be different because we are different. We belong to Jesus and not the world! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
