Living in His Ways

How do you think can we keep as per God's laws and ways? People have tried over thousands of years from the Old Testament times to follow God's laws, rules and ways. Yet they have only realized that they have failed to keep them all. If one has had been successful in keeping certain laws, he/she would have failed at keeping others. The only way one can keep God's laws and ways is by the grace of Jesus Christ and with the help of the Holy Spirit...

There was once a man of God who always gossiped. He tried hard to quit this habit. But he couldn't. He fasted and prayed. It didn't help him in any way. Finally, he submitted his spirit, body and soul to the Holy Spirit of God. He asked the Holy Spirit to take control over him everyday before he began His day. Slowly he came to see the difference. The Spirit of God helped him change. He became more sober and a quite man, good at listening and less with talking. He did not indulge in any talk that was unwholesome or something that did not edify the other person. The Holy Spirit of God helped him to go through this transformation. Though the change was gradual it was consistent. The man was happy to be changed. He began to thank God and ask the Holy Spirit to make him more like the Lord.

 Peter 1:13-16 (PHILLIPS)
So brace up your minds, and, as men who know what they are doing, rest the full weight of your hopes on the grace that will be yours when Jesus Christ reveals himself. Live as obedient children before God. Don’t let your character be moulded by the desires of your ignorant days, but be holy in every department of your lives, for the one who has called you is himself holy. The scripture says: ‘Be holy, for I am holy’.

2 Corinthians 13:14 (PHILLIPS)

The grace that comes through our Lord Jesus Christ, the love that is of God the Father, and the fellowship that is ours in the Holy Spirit be with you all!
