Bible Note: So now, responding to God's responses: "But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;" --1 Peter 2:9 Yes, Lord - YOU chose me for all those things, and I PRAISE Your holy name and give YOU all the THANKS!!! ************ "Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation." 13 Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme, 14or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. 15For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men-- 16as free... --1 Peter 2:12-16 Yes, Lord - I want to do all these things FREELY for You because You have made me righteous by Your grace. I'm so in love with You, Lord - because You first loved me. Teach me how I should behave Lord, for I cannot seem to do it on my own. How should I submit, Lord? Teach me how to reflect Jesus in my deeds, Lord - so that Your name will be glorified. *********** "....But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps," --1 Peter 2:20-21 Yes, Lord - Christ suffered for me and I want to follow His steps because of that. Even if I should suffer because of my faith in You, because of the love for Your gospel, or when people say things against me because of You - teach me Lord, to follow Your reactions to Your sufferings, for when you "...suffered, He (You) did not threaten, but committed Himself (Yourself) to Him who judges righteously;" (2 Peter 2:23). *********** "As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, 'YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.'" --1 Peter 1:14-16 Yes, Lord - as it is written in the old testement, I SHALL be Holy because YOU are Holy. I claim that holinessness, Lord - because you have fulfiled that promise for me in Christ when He died for me. Thank You for Your grace, Lord - You give me SO much which I don't deserve. You love me SO much to die for me. I am so eager to please You now Lord - and I thank You for Your Holy Spirit who is here to teach me how. ******** "Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more... For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality... For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification." --1 Thessalonians 4:1,3,7 Thank you Lord, that one of the fruits of Your Holy Spirit is self-control. It is not my own fruit, Lord - for my fruit is rotten. But thank you Lord, that by grace, You have cut off my old tree and killed my old fruits, so that Your Holy Spirit can take over, nourish me in Your word, and grow His fruits out of me instead. Glory be to You, Lord! *********** "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." --Matthew 5:16 Lord, Your light is my light - for without Your light, I have no light. Let me shine for You, Lord - let Your light shine in my life so that I can reflect it and so that all my good works will be good because of You, and men will glorify You. ********** "Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share," --1 Timothy 6:10 Joe, that's not 1 Timothy 6:10? ********* "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them." --Ephesians 2:10 Yes, Lord - I am Your workmanship created in Christ for good works and I should THEREFORE remember all the things mentioned in Ephesians 11 - 22 so that I can walk in these good works. Glory and praise to You, Lord. Joe, that's how I should respond to God under grace. I know I don't always do that, but I'm still learning from the Holy Spirit's teachings as to how to respond. One thing i've learnt, though - is that I should look to Him for teaching/behaviour modification, not the law. I'll respond to your other posts tomorrow as it's late now and I'm still at the office. Take care and God bless you! |
