A Christ-Like Life

 In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul identifies the qualities of the man or woman who walks as a child of light, and is filled with the Spirit of God. To walk in spirit and truth and to be filled with the Holy Spirit, results in A Christ-Like Life of godly self-sacrifice and the production of an abundance of spiritual fruit for the benefit of others and to the glory of God.
 A thankful heart, boldness in testifying to the truth of the gospel, power for spiritual service, open-hearted generosity towards others, and the exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ, are all evidences given in the Word of God of the man or woman who is filled with the Spirit of God. This results a Christ-like life of godly self-sacrifice and an abundance of spiritual fruit.
 Underpinning our attitude, our actions, our minds, and our motives towards one another should be a deep reverence for the Lord Jesus Who is the Head of the body and Master of all. Let us all seek to be filled, and continue to be filled day by day, by the Holy Spirit of God in all we say and do, and in every area of our lives so that our life may be a demonstration of the life of Christ living in us, flowing through us and streaming out to others for their benefit and to the glory of God.
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we long to walk the godly path in Christ Jesus and be filled with the Spirit, moment by moment. Lord, we want to do this for the right reasons so that our lives may praise and glorify You, for You alone are worthy. We pray that our lives may be ones of self-sacrifice and humble praise, for the benefit of our brothers and sisters in Christ and to the praise and glory of Your holy name. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
