Moral “Red Line” 2

Ephesians 4: 17-32 New International Version (NIV)

Moral “Red Line”: Instructions for Christian Living

17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.

20 That, however, is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self,created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold. 28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.

29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Some thoughts from the Editor

One thing you can be sure, Gods Red lines do not move. What He says are Red lines to not crossover, He really means "Do not crossover" and be sure He will not change his position these things.

It is us who has to come to grips with Gods Moral Lines and Know that any argument we may feel justified to hold to; which in our minds; shifts the Red lines will not mount to a hill of beans when we as individuals stand before God the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Seriously do you really think your going to win the debate with God and convince him that he was wrong and you are right.  "SERIOUSLY"

I suggest you repent "TURN AROUND" and accept what God says and surrender to him your life and your free will to Him and allow Him to write on your Heart His Laws and Ways of being and Doing.

Now is the time to get it right whilst you're on this earth, once you die all choosing stops, the choices have been made and are no more.
