Living for God is what we need to practice daily as we grow spiritually. We are to hate sin, change our attitudes and love righteousness. We no longer live our lives like the unsaved no more. But we live to please Him, who has branded us in His blood.
So what does it mean to live for God?
It means no more lusting, no more drunkeness, orgies, carousing, debauchery and idolatry. (1Peter4)
Definitions:
Lust: strong sexual desires
Orgies: wild party with sexual activity
Carousing: have a lively drinking party
Debauchery: excessive sensual indulgence
Idolatry: worshipping idols/things
Now the bible says we must leave these things behind and focus on living for God. We are to be holy as He is holy.
Holy: morally and spiritually perfect
Moral: good or bad human character or behaviour
We are to be like Him as He is holy, that means no more lusting, no liars, no deceit, no pride, no hatred, no judging others but to love one another as we love ourselves.
