A WHOLE NEW WAY OF LOVING
A WHOLE NEW WAY OF LIVING
Each and every day
From God
Is a NEW opportunity
From God
To live the way
He wants us to live
NOT as the way
The world tells us to live
“Jesus said to Nicodemus,
‘You must be born
From above” John 3:7
WHEN Jesus tells Nicodemus
That he must be born again
Nicodemus misunderstands
No-FRIENDS-
We must LIVE
According to God’s own spirit
The spirit of love-
The spirit of kindness-
The spirit of forgiveness
NOT by the ways
Of the world
“Teach me
To do your will
For you
Are my God
May your spirit lead me
On level ground” Psalm 143:10
“In order
That the righteous requirement
Of the law
Might be
FULLY met in us
Who do not live
According to the flesh
But according to the SPIRIT” Romans 8:4
A WHOLE NEW WAY
Of living
To be “BORN FROM ABOVE”
Means that we
ACCEPT the grace of baptism
As a SOURCE
Of a WHOLE NEW WAY
Of living in this world
It is actually living
The LOVE of God
Every day of our lives
It is an ongoing life-long process
Of embracing God and Christ
With Jesus Christ
As our model and our example
“I have SET an example
That you should do
As I have done for you” John 13:15
“Follow my example
As I FOLLOW the example of Christ” 1 Corinthians 11:1
Dear Lord-we welcome-
Your grace from
Being born from above
HELP US follow to follow
Your way of life
A WHOLE NEW WAY OF LIVING
