Remember from last time:
Have an action plan to act on what you learn in Bible Study.
Look to love others, and make your life work for Jesus.
1 John 5:1-6
If you are born again, you will also love other people who are born again.
Is it difficult for you to be a Christian?
How difficult is it to visit someone…as opposed to going to Target?
Some think being a Christian is hard. Why is it so easy to be a devil?
Colossians 3:1-17
If you are “risen with Christ,” you need to put your faith into action.
Have an action plan for Christ – a plan that helps you execute God’s will with your life.
verse 12 – Put in on. No matter how you feel, a Christian will be a Christian.
Don’t shut down…let God rule in your heart.
Be compassionate. Be passionate about your faith.
We have to reach out. People to love won’t always call on you.
Be humble. Your time is no more important than the next person’s.
Meekness means you can be lead, and be under control.
Longsuffering – you can deal with adversity without losing your cool.
Forbearing one another is when you are willing to help hold someone else up.
Forgiving – you have to be able to move on in God with people.
