It is time for all of us to be living for God’s glory. My brothers and sisters in Christ, if you and I have suffered physically for Christ, we have finished with sin. Therefore, Scripture reminds us that we should not live out our remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God. 1 Peter 4:2

My brothers and sisters in Christ, you and I have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy. Now that we are living for God’s glory, the friends with whom we shared the same reckless indiscretion will be the first to heap abuse at us because we no longer run in the same circles as they do. But we must not allow what they say to influence us and lead us astray, for the time is long past since you I were conformed to the ways of this world. Sin no longer has dominion over us. We are now transformed, our minds have been renewed, old things are past away and we are born again. We have been washed, we have been sanctified, we have been justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God, and by His stripes we are healed. Praise the Lord!
