What Are We to Do Then?

 

By Mindy Silva

 


 

 

Many people wonder what it is that we need to do once we have committed our lives to God.

 

Well, here’s the “DO LIST” so there’s no wondering anymore.

 

We are to:

 

Set our minds on things above, not on things of the earth.

 

Not lie to one another.

 

Let the peace of God rule in our hearts.

 

Be thankful.

 

Let the word of Christ dwell in us richly: In all wisdom; teaching; admonishing one another; in psalms; hymns; spiritual songs; singing with grace in our hearts to the Lord.

 

We are to in whatever we do in word or deed all in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father through Him (and) do it heartily as to the Lord and not to Man.

 

We are to know that we will receive the reward of the inheritance, for we serve Jesus Christ.

 

We are to know that if we do wrong, we will be repaid for what we have done, for there is no partiality.

 

We are to put to death: Fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

 

We are to put off anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language, the old man and his deeds.

 

We are to put on the new man, who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him by whom he was created as the elect of God─holy and beloved, with tender mercies; kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, and love, which is the bond of purification.
