“LIVING EVERY MOMENT”

Think about that really hard. Is that a challenge for you?

The Bible, the Word of the Living God says, that those who have received Christ, have passed from

A. DEATH (darkness)

into

B. LIFE (light) (John 5:24)

The motto of the redeemed is:

“FOR ME TO LIVE IS CHRIST”  (Philippians 1:21)

1. Romans 1:17

Living every moment by faith.

The justified “live by faith” (Romans 1:17.

2. Romans 12:1

Living every moment as a “living sacrifice”.

As priests, we present our bodies a “living sacrifice,” and thus live consecratedly.

3. Romans 14:7,8

Living every moment unto the Lord.

As the Lord’s own, we are responsible to “live unto the Lord” (Romans 14:7,8).

4. Galatians 5:25

Living every moment in the Spirit.

To “live in the Spirit” is to evidence we have life from Him.

5. Titus 2:12; First Peter 2:24

Living every moment

— self-controlled lives in this present age.

–upright lives in this present age.

— godly lives in this present age.

To “live selfcontrolled, upright, and godly” in this present age, is to prove we know the grace of God.

End:

“FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS

Hebrews 4:12

Introduction:

1. living and

2. active.

3. Sharper than any double-edged sword,

a. it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit,

b. joints and marrow;

4. it judges  the

a. thoughts and

b. attitudes

of the heart.”

End:

“For I resolved

to know nothing while

I was with you except

Jesus Christ and him

crucified.”
