Our scripture is taken from:

Ephesians 4:17-32

"Now this I affirm and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer
live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds; they are
darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God
because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of
heart; they have become callous and have given themselves up to
licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of uncleanness.

You did not so learn Christ! -- assuming that you have heard about him
and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus. Put off your old
nature which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt
through deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds,
and put on the new nature, created after the likeness of God in true
righteousness and holiness. Therefore, putting away falsehood, let
every one speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of
another."

May the Lord add blessings to the reading of His word. Amen.

We can no longer live as Gentiles, now that we have learned of Christ!
We must put off our old nature and we must be renewed in the spirit of our minds.
We can be angry, but we must not sin; we must not allow the sun to go down on our anger.

Above all, we must not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, because we are sealed in the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption.

We must forgive one another as God has forgiven us.

Have you heard the truth? If you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as you Lord and Savior, today is a good day for you to do so.

Do you believe with all your heart that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, and your personal Savior?

Read this scripture with me.

Romans 10:9 says,
"That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

Romans 10:10 says,
For with the heart man believes righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Confess the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior today!

Be blessed in the Lord.
