You're Not Who You Used to Be

What does it look like to live as a citizen of Heaven while we're still here on earth?

In 1 Peter 4:1–11, Peter challenges believers to leave behind the desires of the flesh and live instead for the will of God. A life changed by Christ should look different. We are not called to sanitize our sin, make peace with the old life, or simply turn over a new leaf. We are called to be born again and to walk in the new life Christ has given us.

As we await Christ's return, Scripture reminds us to remain clear-minded and prayerful, love one another fervently, show genuine hospitality, and use the gifts God has given us to serve others and bring Him glory.

Revival doesn't begin with changing everyone else. It begins when we allow God to work in us.

Have you left the old life behind? Are you living for the will of God?
