Are you different?

1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

God chose you to declare His praises. In 1 Corinthians 10:31 it says whether you eat or drink, whatever you do, do it for the glory of God. Is what you are doing bringing God glory???

The chapter goes on in verse 11 that you should be foreigners and exiles (in the world) and abstain from sinful desires(the evil desires, the passions of the flesh, your lower nature) that wage war against your soul. You should conduct yourself properly among the worldly people so that may witness your good deeds and glorify God.

Ephesians 5:1-20 talks about how our conduct should be. We should walk in love(esteeming and delighting in one another) as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a slain offering and sacrifice to God(for you, so that it became) a sweet fragrance.  There should be no hint of sexual immorality, or any kind of impurity,or of greed,because these are improper for God's holy people. Let there be no filthiness(obscenity,indecency) nor foolish and sinful(silly and corrupt) talk, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting or becoming; but instead voice your thankfulness (to God). These sort of people will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Christians scratch that disciples of Christ should be DIFFERENT. We should not be like the world. If you love the world the love of the father is not in you. 1 John 2:15-17

Examine yourself. Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Confess your sins to the Lord and He will forgive you. Do not take grace for granted.
