Set Apart

Our Wednesday night Bible Study is currently studying “Characteristics for Right Living.” It was written as a nine week course, but our Teacher/Preacher/Talker is making it a good bit longer.

We are still on Chapter 2 (Sanctification) after three weeks on the subject and not even half-way through. Fortunately there is no hurry. We have till Jesus comes, or our time to go home to Heaven, to learn all that we can about how to live the life designed for us by our lloving Father.

Last evening we talked about the necessity of maintaining relationships with one another so that or experiential sanctification (as opposed to our positional sanctification) is not damaged by failing to actually llove one another.

Sometimes the things we say and do offend those around us. Would to God we were not so easily offended, but the reality is a lot of damage comes from that practice. The solution is simple, however. Forgiveness. Forgiving others as we have been forgiven – by God, and by others.

Living as God designed requires His power. Find it in His Word, in His Church, in His Family.
