The pattern of habits that controlled crime , guile , hypocrisy , envy and slander must be removed within the community of believers . Stay away from a way of life that is not in accordance with the truth of God's Word clearly written in the Bible . Not to also occur in the church fellowship because ultimately compromising positions retain the reputation of the rights of others, even worse bond of brotherhood and harmony becomes fad

Therefore we are always reminded to " be the same as a newborn baby , who always wanted to be a pure milk and the spiritual , so that by it you grow and gain salvation , if you really have tasted the goodness of the Lord . " ( Paragraph 2 , 3 ) . The Apostle Peter directs Christians at the time , so be like a newborn baby who needs milk pure and spiritual ; indicates that believers need to study the Word of God , lived , reflected upon and applied in real life all the time . By getting used to studying and meditating on the Word of God in the Bible on a regular basis , then our faith can grow to spiritual maturity . So that in time we realize how great the goodness of God that is always expressed in the course of our lives all the time and there is always a heart longing for the coming of the Lord dihadirat . Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house , an holy priesthood , to offer up spiritual sacrifices pleasing to Jesus Christ as God ( verse 5 ) . Jesus Christ has become a ' cornerstone ' that provides safety , protection and security for the church . The term is used to describe the cornerstone strength and durability . Such an important foundation stone in the construAfatogel.com Bandar Terbesar Situs Togel Online Terpercaya ction of a permanent building , the church should every citizen has a strong faith and strong so it can survive in any circumstances . Jesus Christ has laid the foundation for the faith of the disciples and all his followers , so that anyone who believes in Him shall not be confounded (v. 6b ) .

By the way , let us remind each other and invite fellow members of the church in order to worship and work diligently to respect and kemuilaan name of the Lord .
            
Second , be a carrier of the message of salvation of God ( verses 8-10 ) . " That you may proclaim the great deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light ( verse 9b ) . Perbuatatan big question is the gospel of salvation . Gospel Rescue Safety Working containing news of the Messiah begins from birth , death , resurrection , ascension and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to the Church . Noble mission of the church is to proclaim the gospel throughout the world regardless of race , language , culture , ancestry and social status differences . Therefore go and make disciples of all nations , baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit , and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you . And lo, I am with you always, until the end of time ( Matthew 28:19-20 ) . Communicate these things ,

All church members are obliged to be the bearer of God's message of salvation . Whether it is through self-giving in church services or activities organized evangelism , preaching is also evident through the way of every day life ( language, nature , fairy attitude and behavior ) . By obedience to the Word of God then the quality of life for people of faith would be clearly visible . Promised Holy Spirit Jesus Christ inevitably accompanies every believer in carrying out their respective responsibilities . It certainly will be faced with many challenges and struggles but if we continue to walk in the light of God then everything is sure to be any easier to pass . Capacity as a nation / people who elect is an honor to be thankful and dipertahakan , but not until late in the pride . The Bible records about the people of Israel who received the title of God's chosen nation has made them fall in pride and arrogance , and eventually forget the Lord God consequently exiled in Babylon and later colonized by the Romans . It would give a sign to alert people in the church so as not to appear in the spiritual pride that sees itself more sacred than others . Even worse if consider yourself the truest , most perfect and most meritorious thus underestimate others .
            
God did not choose to set up a group of believers who withdrew from the world , but choose to be sent to other human beings so that they receive salvation through faith in Jesus Christ . A special honor when we
Afatogel.com Bandar Terbesar Situs Togel Online Terpercaya include those chosen in order to become a channel of blessing to others . Every citizen of the faith of the church has the responsibility to maintain the honor as a people who have been set apart by Jesus Christ . Anyone we when have been designated as the heir and the kingdom of heaven, certainly given the power to bring the light of the gospel of salvation amid the world ruled by the darkness of sin . The universe is God's creation . All these celestial bodies follow the rules as they are made of the Creator . Humans are authorized and honor to work it and keep the earth for survival of hereditary . But the tragic reality , ' Earth polluted by its inhabitants , because they violate the law , change the statutes and eternal covenant " ( Isaiah 24:5 ) . Exploitation of the environment on a large scale disaster resulted everywhere . Climate change the world is very influential in all aspects of human life . Therefore
we elect as given the honor to proclaim the wonders of God are challenged to become a pioneer in conservation efforts by developing patterns of thinking are always concerned with the natural surroundings . We have to work harder , work it and keep the Lord 's environment with full sense of responsibility of faith . Negligent and greedy when it came was a disaster but when we preserve it coming is a blessing . Have we maintain the honor of being a chosen people with a pattern and a way of life that God dikendaki ? So get rid of all the bad habits and always came to the Lord Jesus and be messengers of God's salvation and be wherever you go . Amen !
