Ephesians 4:22-24 - In Step With God.

Ephesians 4:22-24 (NLT) throw off your old 
sinful nature and your former way of life, which is 
corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the 
Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on 
your new nature, created to be like God - truly 
righteous and holy. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   People are saved when they trust Jesus 
Christ as Savior and choose to follow Him. Right 
then, most Christians realize that they will dwell 
with Him forever in heaven. But many dont 
understand what they can expect for the remainder of 
their lives on earth. 
   One benefit thats available 
immediately is a growing relationship with the Lord. The 
Fathers oneness with Jesus (John 10:30) illustrates 
the intimacy God wants to have with His 
children. He had this type of closeness in mind at 
creation - a relationship with man is an avenue for 
Him to express His love and for us to worship 
and understand our Maker. 
   Another advantage is that 
Christ-followers are promised clear guidance through Gods 
Holy Spirit. Decision making is a part of 
everyday life. It is impossible for a mere human to 
know every variable and nuance before choosing 
which path to take. But the Lord knows all things 
- past, present, and future. With godly wisdom 
available, its hard to understand why anyone would 
prefer to trust his own hunches. 
   Provision is yet another blessing 
guaranteed for believers. There will be hard times, but 
God gives Christians everything necessary for 
following Him (Phil. 4:19). And His grace will always 
prove more than sufficient (2 Cor. 12:9). 
   How abundantly God gives to His children! 
One word of caution, though: these gifts are 
effective only when believers walk obediently with 
Him. Sin can stifle them. 
   The heavenly Father desires that all of 
His sons and daughters have these blessings; if 
youre living in obedience before Him, they are 
available to you. Is anything getting in the way of 
your total submission to Him? [In Touch Daily
