Hebrews 10:24
Be willing to consider others…help others…and be helped by otherws
Colossians 3:9-11
Be honest. Don’t lie about your spiritual state
Ephesians 4:17-32
When you become a member of the body of Christ (a Christian),
you don’t act like the rest of the world
Have you been renewed in the spirit of your mind?
Think about the song, “Here I am to Worship”
When you song a song like that…make sure you fully consider the words
Be a new man or woman in Christ – created in righteousnes and holiness
Are you honest about where you are in Christ?
Start having honest relationships with others’ in Christ
Don’t “escape” help by giving the right religious answers…be open and honest
1 Peter 3:15
One of the responsibilities of Church membership is communication
Can you talk about how you know you are saved? And are you willing?
If you can’t talk about your relationship with Christ…
you won’t be able to convince the world to love Him
Would you be nervous to talk about your boyfriend/girlfriend? Why then about Christ?
If you can’t encourage others’ by what Jesus is doing in your life, who will?
Our testimonies help others’
What do other people really know about your love for Christ?
How long has it been since you talked with somebody about how God loves you?
If you are saved you won’t be scared to talk about the love of your life
There’s two parts to a testimony; what happened, and what’s happening
2 Timothy 2:19
To be a member of the body of Christ, you have to commit to stop sinning
Make sure repentance means something to you (it means to change)
