TOPIC: CHRIST GAVE HIS LIFE FOR US THAT HE MIGHT SAVE US, SANCTIFY US, AND CLEANSE US WITH HIS WORD: TO PRESENT US UNTO HIMSELF NOT HAVING SPOT, OR WRINKLE – IN HOLINESS AND WITHOUT BLEMISH! -THE SCRIPTURE - This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind: having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is them, because of the blindness of their heart: who being past feeling, have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness and greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ: if so be that ye have heard Him, and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that ye put off concerning the former conversation, the old man which is corrupt according to the deceitful lust: and be renewed in the spirit of your mind: and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you with all malice: and be ye kind one to another. tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you…..EPHESIANS 4:17-32. -THE MESSAGE- Men and brethren, let it not escape our hearts even for a second that no whore monger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Therefore let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these vices the wrath of God is upon the wicked. Be ye therefore not partakers with them…for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth. As believes we must not continue in fellowship with all unfruitful works of darkness; we should rather condemn them. Let us run from fornication and all manners of uncleanness – reject foolish talking and all manners of jesting. Glorify God in your deeds and in your words. Let us run from the temptation is lifting some passages of the Bible and using them to justify our ungodly ways – for nothing ungodly or defiled can ever enter the kingdom of heaven. This is the word of God and this is the New Testament Gospel.
