Grace for your spirit. March 19, 2012

Grace for your spirit
The Lord's bondservant must not be quarrelsome, but kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition...II Timothy 2:24-25

This is God's plan to convert the world. It is His plan to bring repentance and the knowledge of God that will change mankind for the better. As Christians we are bond-servants of the Lord and subject to His guidance. If we are quarrelsome, hateful, will not teach, not patient, and not gentle, how will we ever reach the place we can correct those who in opposition to God. If the world follows our example, will we lead them to Jesus or the devil? As we walk with the Spirit and by the Spirit, we need to put on that new man in Christ. When we let that new man correct our carnal nature, then we will be able to focus on teaching and leading others to the joy of being the new man in Christ.
