For all people walk each in the name of his god, But we will walk in the name of the LORD our God Forever and ever. 

Micah 4:5

The way we live shows who the God we serve is. If your life is full of confusion, resentment, hate or any other feeling that the Scriptures condemn, this is a sign that you are not serving the Lord. We know that those who belong to the Father must be strong and vigilant (1 Corinthians 16:13); however, they should also be peaceful (Colossians 3:12; Titus 3:2), and seek to receive blessings, since no one wants a god of misery.

We should not imitate those who don’t fear the Lord, for this is not the Biblical standard. Likewise, we should never act with ulterior motives; because those who are not sincere in all they do cannot say they serve God. (Psalm 101:2) The same can be said of those who do not show mercy, who want to take advantage of others, lie and live to please their own life.

Another important point is that in regards to faith, nobody should be neutral. The truth is that those who do not walk in the light are in darkness, and do not serve the Lord, but the enemy. Disrespecting our own bodies is also a sign of a weak spiritual life; people who live in prostitution, or in any other kind of vices, don’t enjoy God’s peace and demonstrate that they don’t want the Lord to guard and protect them.

However, it is easy to be under the Lord’s plans: we should allow ourselves to be transformed by the power of the name of Jesus, who is sovereign over all evil, and temptations from the enemy. There is nothing more pleasurable than living a holy life, avoiding the appearance of evil and being a worthy person. Thus, if you have been living a life that’s different from the biblical standards, quit what you’ve been doing right now, because the Lord saves those who trust in Him.

Remember that the way you walk here on Earth will determine what eternity will be like for you. So be careful! Anyone who causes abominations or defiles shall not be admitted into the kingdom of God. (Revelation 21:27) If you don’t care about where you will spend eternity, then this message isn’t good for you. However, if you want to be happy forever, walk according to the Word, for the seeds you plant shall bear good fruit at its time. (James 3:12)

Therefore, understand that the best testimony you can give to the lost ones is to live according to the calling the Lord has for you. (Ephesians 4:1) He believes that you will not disappoint Him. So fight and be brave; this way your life will be a blessed life. Moreover, make good use of the right you have to use the holy name of Jesus, and expel evil from your life.

In Christ, with love,
