"The human heart is most deceitful and desperately wicked. who really knows how bad it is? But I know! I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve. "
Ephesians 4: 17-24
With the Lords authority let me say this: Live no longer as the ungodly* do, for they are hopelessly CONFUSED. Their closed minds are full of darkness; they are far away from the life of God because they have shut their minds and hardened their HEARTS against him. They don't care anymore about right and wrong, and they have given themselves over to immoral ways. Their lives are filled with all kinds of impurity and greed.
But that isn't what you were taught when you learned about Christ. Since you have heard all about him and have learned the TRUTH that is in Jesus, THROW off your old evil nature and your FORMER way of life, which is rotten through and through, full of lust and deception. Instead, there must bea spiritual RENEWAL of your thoughts and ATTITUDES. You must display a new nature because you are a new person, created in God's likeness - righteous, holy and TRUE.
Hiding these words in my heart. again. and again.
No matter what may come my way.. my life is in God's hands. I know that I can make it, I know that I can stand. Because of Him I can do this... not because of me.
