All in Living a Righteous Life
Do we think of our faith in God, and Jesus Christ to be entirely spiritual? Do we continue on in the sins of the flesh even after we have presented ourselves as believers in the Lord and Jesus? Resisting those earthly temptations is difficult, and this is why Satan attacks our physical frailties so often. He is very good at finding the small chinks in our armor and picking at them. When he finds a weakness he attacks us relentlessly like a swarm of hornets in an attempt to breach the walls of our spirituality.
We praise, and worship the Lord in church, and pray in our secret places, but what do we do with the remainder of our lives? Do we lead two separate existences? Do we have a spiritual life on the one hand, and a carnal one on the other? Do we walk out of the sanctuary, close the door, and then without another thought, begin to live like citizens of the world? In the life of the apostle Paul we are given a glimpse of how we should live one spiritual life at all times. He offers his life as an example for us. It was a life modeled after Jesus… holy, righteous, and blameless for all to see.
