“Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech.
They must turn from evil and do good;
they must seek peace and pursue it.” 1 Peter 3:10-11
The Word of God for today is an admonition concerning how to enjoy an abundant life and experience many good days.
The commands of God are to speak pure words void of evil and deceit, turn away from evil and do good, and seek peace and pursue it.
The only way you and I can keep these precepts of God is to accept your inner nature is weak and can never comply with these desires of God.
You have to look outside of yourself for the ability to please God.
The solution is to turn to Christ Jesus through the Holy Spirit. As a believer, the Holy Spirit dwells inside you. He is the life of Christ. This life is pure and without sin.
Walk with God through the Holy Spirit. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus will set you free from the law of sin and death.
These two laws are eternal and will never change. The conflict for humans is we waver between both laws.
The decision you and I have to make every moment of life is to live under the authority of the Holy Spirit or to live for self. This is a decision between life or death.
You cannot compromise God. This is why there is a worldwide pandemic.
Live under the authority of the Holy Spirit and you will find the blessings of Christ.
There is no other way!
