We must alter our behavior because the Lord has called us to be holy. We are unable to live in our old ways and please God. We must do as the Lord commands if we want to be considered a child of God.
All bad habits that irritate God must be abandoned by us. Speaking impure words and languages renders us unholy, and we are unable to serve God with such a heart. All of our prayers and worship are ineffective unless we have a heart shift and prepare ourselves to be acceptable in the Lord’s sight.
We must always consider whether our comments are pleasant to God whenever we use foul language or improper language. The response will undoubtedly be no, so we must refrain from using language that defiles us. This kind of conduct will also discourage others from pursuing a relationship with Jesus.
Our actions and words will help those around us recognize Jesus. Therefore, we must exercise caution when living a life that does not exalt God. We cannot avoid God’s judgment; we must stand before it.
So that we can be transformed, let’s fix our hearts on God’s word. We shall be able to live a holy life and triumph over the world with the help of the Bible scriptures that follow. In order to be blessed, look at them.
