Grace for your spirit October 1, 2010

Grace for your spirit
Therefore, putting aside all malice and all guile and hypocrisy and envy and all slander,like newborn babies, I Peter 2:1-2

When Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to Him at the beginning of His ministry, He proclaimed that he was an Israelite with no guile. What a great compliment, to be proclaimed by Jesus as one without any deceit. This is certainly a wonderful quality that Jesus wants in all His followers. When we are born again of the water and the spirit, we are to become as newborn babes in Christ. To be an infant in Christ with a spirit without malice, guile, hypocrisy, envy, or slander. We are always going to be transparent to Jesus. It is great when we can be transparent before those in the world, and they can see that we are real disciples of Jesus. Then people could say of us when we come, Behold, a Christian in whom there is no guile or deceit.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
