I want to quote what my friend Ella said:



In Jesus you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit Ephesians 2:22



We must continue to allow God to create in us a clean heart and renew the right spirit in us.



God can only tear down the building that we have build within ourselves as we give Him permission and allow the Holy Spirit to do His work in us.



Once God has torn down what we have built on the wrong foundation, He begins a new work of reconstruction and restoration in us, rebuilding and remodeling our old structure removing ourselves as the old headstone, and replacing it with Jesus Christ as our new head cornerstone....



But this can't be done without us totally surrendering to the Holy Spirit, giving Him permission to do so, converting our old building into new creations and new creatures in Christ thus, presenting us before God as a new place acceptable for His holy and pure dwelling place.



he who began a good work in us, will not have this building competed until Jesus comes



and in the words of Madear...HA-LA-LU-JER!!

God imputed us the righteousness of His Son to live a GODLY/HOLY life.



This is Christianity.

Our Churches do not teach it.

But that is the main topic of the NT and Jesus in His teaching: HOLY and GODLY life of Christians.





If we do NOT live a godly life then we live in sexual immorality and other sins.

Is it ok to be a son of God and commit such sins?

If it is ok for you then you should know what our God Jesus said:



SEXUAL immoral people do NOT inherit the Kingdom of God!



For I tell you that unless your righteousness SURPASSES that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly NOT enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matth 5:20

I mean it is our responsibility to live in sins or with God.



If we will live in sins then God does not live with us.

He abandons sinners (sexual immoral people..)



If we live in sins, we will die in sins and after death God will judge us for our sins.



That is CLEAR.



What is the result of such sins/life style? Sexual immoral people do NOT inherit the Kingdom of God, unbelievers/in-the name-only believers too.



That is why it is OUR responsibility to COOPERATE with God and ABANDON our sins in repentance to live with God...



Or we have the second option: ungodly life, leading us to the Lake of Fire.

More Bible references to ponder:



To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:



2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.



5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.



8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his OLD sins.



10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.



2 Peter 1



Let's analyze what we all have to possess?



God's divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness!!!

HOW? Through the knowledge of God in the Bible.



God called us by glory and virtue!



God gave us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.



What we all have to do?



Giving all diligence, add to your faith (1) virtue-behavior showing high moral standards of God

(2) knowledge of God

(3) self-control

(4) perseverance

(5) godliness

(6) brotherly kindness

(7) love .



For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.



He who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to BLINDNESS, and has forgotten that he was CLEANSED from his OLD sins.



If you do these things you will never stumble!



And your entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
