Born of God?
Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.
1 John 3:7-10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.3.7-10.NASB1995
Are you practicing righteousness? Is it evident in you?
🌹If you know that He (Jesus) is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him.
1 John 2:29 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.2.29.NASB1995
Continually Seeking Him,
Alive in Righteousness
If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
Romans 8:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.10.NASB1995
Whose righteousness? Not my own, for I have no righteousness of my own. The righteousness of Christ in me is my righteousness.
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Romans 8:11 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.11.NASB1995
🌹Hallelujah
Continually Seeking Him,
Considered Sinless
Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
You know that He (Jesus) appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.
1 John 3:4-5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.3.4-5.NASB1995
He (The Father) made Him (Jesus) who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
2 Corinthians 5:21 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.5.21.NASB1995
🙏 Father, thank you for Jesus, who came on my behalf and made a way for me to become righteous through His sacrifice. By His sacrifice I am clean, pure, righteous as You look upon me through Your Son who lives in me. The price was paid. By Your grace I am righteous. Glory to Your name!! In Jesus I pray, amen.
🌹No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows (or has known) Him.
1 John 3:6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.3.6.NASB1995
Continually Seeking Him,
Sacrificial Praise From a Thankful Heart
You are my God, I give you thanks; my God, I offer you praise.
Psalms 118:28 NABRE
https://bible.com/bible/463/psa.118.28.NABRE
What have you to be thankful for? Have you thanked God?
Have you given God a sacrifice of praise?
🌹Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.

Genuine Faith and Fruitfulness
Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He (Jesus) came to it and found nothing on it except leaves only; and He *said to it, “No longer shall there ever be any fruit from you.” And at once the fig tree withered.
Matthew 21:19 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.21.19.NASB1995
Every branch in Me (Jesus) that does not bear fruit, He (the Father) takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
John 15:2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.15.2.NASB1995
You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
John 15:3-5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.15.3-5.NASB1995
If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.
John 15:6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.15.6.NASB1995
With fruitlessness comes judgment.
🌹Therefore bear fruit in keeping with repentance;

Jesus, Fountain of Life
In the fear (reverence) of the Lord there is strong confidence, And his (His) children will have refuge.
Proverbs 14:26 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.14.26.NASB1995
The fear (reverence) of the Lord leads to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.

https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.19.23.NASB1995

https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.33.6.NASB1995

Mindset
But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests (the things of God), but man’s.”
Matthew 16:23 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.16.23.NASB1995
Jesus came to fulfill the purpose the Father had sent Him to do. We have been created to fulfill the purpose God brought us here for. Are we seeking the will of God in our life? Are we following Him, submitting to His purpose for our life?
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.
Matthew 16:24 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.16.24.NASB1995
Full Surrender. . .
Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
James 4:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.4.7.NASB1995
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
Matthew 16:25-26 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.16.25-26.NASB1995
🌹For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds.

Continually Seeking Him,
A Living & Holy Sacrifice
Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
1 Corinthians 3:16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.3.16.NASB1995
What a glorious gift we have living inside of us. We, as believers, are a temple where God dwells. 1 Chronicles 29:1 says “The temple is not for man, but for the Lord God.”
. . . For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them; And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
2 Corinthians 6:16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.6.16.NASB1995
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
1 Corinthians 6:19 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.6.19.NASB1995
We belong to God. How are we caring for this temple, our bodies? Are we feeding it daily with the Word of God? Are we exercising His will by walking in His way, truth and life? Are we seeking His face continually. Are we spending time talking to/with Him?
Do you belong to God?
However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.
Romans 8:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.9.NASB1995
🌹Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
Romans 12:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.12.1.NASB1995
