A SLAVE TO RIGHTEOUS LIVING!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living.” Romans 6:18

TODAY’S MESSAGE: In today’s world it is easy to get caught up in what the world believes to be righteous living. The world believes it is ok to cut corners in life. What is the trouble with telling a little white lie? What is wrong with talking behind someone’s back? What is wrong with a little gossip? What is wrong with fitting into society? Everyone else is doing it. Before becoming a child of the living God, we were all children of the devil. We were born into sin and knew no different. We were slaves of the way the world was run and to the beliefs that were brought forth by those who enforce its ways. However, once we accept that Jesus is our Lord, our ways of life are to change. Our lifestyles are to become different. People are to see a change in the way we act and speak. Before we were saved the devil had a foothold in our lives. We saw nothing wrong in the ways we were living. But once Jesus takes over our lives, we are to shed the evil ways of this world and become slaves of righteous living. We are to conduct our lives in ways that are morally right and pleasing to God. We are to live our lives in the way God dictates through his Holy Word, and we are to live by acting in accordance with his moral principles and standards. We are to be obedient to his commands seeking every way to align our actions with His will. We are to strive to be free from sin and evil and commit our ways to justice, fairness, and compassion. We are to walk with integrity, speak the truth, despise evil, and live a life of faith and trust in God in heaven. We become slaves of righteous living and not in living in this world. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
