You Do it.


Colossians 3: 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

We must RID ourselves of these things. We must discipline ourselves to become people who bear good fruit at all times. By seeking the Kingdom and HIS righteousness, we find out what type or kind of attitude we must have. Be Christ like. His righteousness we must seek. It means to be in line with HIM, because if we go against HIS word, we go against HIM. We must gather where HE gathers (matt12:30).

He is the Life

The Lord gives us life and He says choose life or choose to be in Him or live for Him to truly experience life.
Jeremiah 21:8 But you must say to this people,"This is what the Lord says. Look I am presenting to you the way of life and the way of death.

We have been given a choice, to either choose life or death. He also says if you choose to keep your life you will lose it, but if you give it to Him, you will find it.
Mark 8:35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of ME and the gospel will save it.
Christ Jesus is life,without Him there is no life and there is no life outside of Him,period. He is the giver of life. He also says, Mark 8:36 For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world yet lose his life?
There is no life in worldly things, so do not treasure them and make them your God by putting your personal desires first. God says put Me first and make Me first in your life, let Me be your God.
Friend this does not mean you are to live a poor life and living from the remains of people,NO,not at all, it means you love Him for who He is, like you would love someone dear to you. And not only will He see to it that you have life but He will bless the works of your hands.
To fully give Him your life, is to have Him lord your life, meaning to govern your life with his desires and will. Whatever He speaks you do because when He speaks it is to benefit you, remember the time Jesus was in Canaan when He turned water into wine? Mary told the servants "do whatever He tells you" because she knew that He always does good for our benefit.

Christ has and owns everything, He is the life we are trying so hard to individually achieve, a life without stress nor guilt or shame. For Christ says He came to give us life and life in abundance. John 10:10 A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that THEY may have life and have it in abundance.


We have nothing to lose for loving and giving our lives to Christ, absolutely nothing but every thing to gain.
