How to Act Like a True Christian – Digging Deep Into Romans 12:9-21

“Abhor what is evil.”
Romans 12:9b

Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today. Remember to read the entire passage.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
Ephesians 6:12

When did evil make it’s first appearance (see Genesis 3. Especially 3:21-24)?
Who initiated it’s entrance?
Ephesians 6:12 reflects on exactly that. Rejecting evil is rejecting who?
Ephesians 6 goes on to remind us how to combat this spiritual darkness. What are the pieces of armor.
Romans 1:18-32 gives us a glimpse of evil in our world. Yet…we are told instead how to live our lives (1 Peter 1:14)?
We can live transformed lives through the blood of Jesus. He allows us to overcome evil by the power of the cross. I try to use Philippians 4:8 as a benchmark in regards to what I watch, listen to, say. Write down the things we are called to think about.

We are called to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. May Jesus guide and protect you as you seek to reject evil and follow the way of the truth! Praying for you…

Thank Him now…then lay your burdens at His feet and ask Him to fill you with His peace!

Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today.
Philippians 3:7-9

“But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ”
Philippians 3-:7-9 NIV

How do you look at your gains & losses. With a heavenly view or an earthy one. Comment on what your perspective is & what perspective God desires you to have.

Pray that the Holy Spirit will open your eyes to see what is true gain – the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus ! I will be praying for you!
