Self Controlled and Set Apart

We should never fall back into our old life before Christ because when we do, we show the world we are not set apart from it. Instead, we should have our minds active and self-controlled on the coming of Jesus.

 

1 Peter 1:13-16 (NLT) 13 So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. 14 So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. 15 But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. 16 For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.”
