Galatians 1:23-24
23 All they knew was that people were saying, “The one who used to persecute us is now preaching the very faith he tried to destroy!” 24 And they praised God because of me.
People who will presacute you because you are a Christian will praise God for you because you act like Christ.
Salvation is not by works, not by the law, not by good deeds, good looks or IQ.
It's a gift of God!
If you have been given the gift of salvation you also been given the gift of wisdom.
How are you using that wisdom? Are you living for yourself or are you living for God?
James 3:13 & 17-18
13 If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wi 17 But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. 18 And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.
If you have the gift of salvation then you have the gift of power of the spirit. God's law shows us we are sinners because we have broken His commandments. We are a slave to sin and the only answer to free us is not our own will but, Jesus Christ is the only one that can break the bonds and chains of sin. When he breaks those bonds he gives us His spirit.
Romans 7:21
21 I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. 22 I love God’s law with all my heart. 23 But there is another power[e] within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. 24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? 25 Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.
