LIVING OUR LIVES
In a recent blog, you read of how we should be living our lives as though the "Kingdom" was already here.
It made me wonder how that should be, then Mr.Knoch gave me the answer in my recent UNSEARCHABLE RICHES.
He listed the sins that Paul had described as ones that "believers" should avoid:
ANGER, FURY, MALICE, CALUMNY, OBSCENITY, AND FALSEHOOD..to which I add GREED, which was a trait that Paul singeled out.
Mr. Knoch gives us the way in which we should be living our lives, when he writes "Anger, fury and malice should be replaced by compassion and kindness". "Calumny and obscenity by humility, meekiness, patience and gentle forebearance".
Greed should be replaced by sharing and caring.
These traits of goodness may not be easily obtained at all times, but "believers" should attempt them in order to " live their lives as though the Kingdom were here", and in doing so, would be "wearing fitting garments..which has Christ as its Image"..paulnbob
