"The jailer called for lights and ran to the dungeon and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. The he brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Acts 16:29-30
In a world like ours, with conditions being what they are, what should a serious-minded man or woman do?
First, accept the truth concerning yourself. You do not go to a doctor to seek consolation, but to find out what is wrong and what to do about it.
Then seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Seek through Jesus Christ a right relationship to God and then insist upon maintaining a right relationship to your fellow man.
Set about reverently and honestly to amend your doings. Magnify God, mortify the flesh, simplify your life. Take up your cross and learn of Jesus Christ, to die to this world that He may raise you up in due time.
If you will do these things in faith and love, you will know peace-the peace of God that passes all understanding.
You will know joy. You will know too the comfort of the indwelling Spirit of God, for you have sought to do the will of God.
Dear Lord, teach us what it means to both live in this world and at the same time "die to this world" for the sake of Christ.
