The Apostle Paul speaks extensively about our
conduct and behavior as believers in Christ. We do not
have to be “changed”
in our behavior before we come to Christ. However, when
we accept Christ as our Savior and Lord, then our
behavior changes
as we come to a right relationship with God. The sinful
things that we used to do must be put away from us in
Christ. We are
in the process of becoming perfect in godliness and
righteousness. We change inwardly in our behavior in the
family of God and
as we move through this world. Our conduct must be
confident and consistent before God, within His family
of believers, and
before those in the world. We cannot compromise, because
our behavior will lead others to a saving relationship
with Jesus
Christ.
God requires us not to submit to false teachers and
false prophets with their deceitful words. We must test
the spirits of
all who seek to influence us, so that we are not misled
and so that we stand strong in the Lord and His word.
Remember, we
have an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God,
that is dependent on our conduct.
