Part of the mission God has given us in this life is to submit to those in authority in a way that follows the example of Jesus. Believers see submission as a sacred duty and even more so as a lifelong way of continually growing in submission to God.

Biblical submission comes from the example of Jesus on the cross—a willing action inspired by love instead of forced obligation. Freely given submission is an opportunity to reflect the way of Jesus through a lifetime of sacrifice toward one another.

While the days are certainly evil, we don’t live with hopelessness, knowing Jesus is over everything in every way. Yet, instead of living with apathy, we engage. We live by the power of the Spirit and join God in the work of making all things new.

When Jesus invited us to a new way of living, He was calling us to embrace being children of God who live in the light. This means that our standards for life switch from being merely about what we shouldn’t do to discovering what pleases the Lord.

As the Spirit renews our thoughts and attitudes, our language begins to adjust. Lies are no longer on our lips and anger doesn’t fill our body. Instead, we practice putting on our new nature given through the Holy Spirit.

Discovering who we are changes how we live and begins with switching our thinking to become more like Christ. As the Spirit renews our thoughts and attitudes, we learn what it means to live in a way toward ourselves and others that pleases the Lord.

As believers, our identity isn’t in tribalism rooted in political affiliations or personal preferences. Our true tribe is found in the body of Christ, and this higher identity is the gateway to a deeper community than this world could ever offer.

Jesus is the answer for every uncertainty, and He will lead the Church in everything and in every way. There is a profound freedom and deepened understanding of our identity when we know that remaining in Him will give us all we need for all we face.

There sometimes seems to be a gap between knowing what is true about us as believers and living out of that reality. Paul reminds us that Jesus is the starting point and that in Christ we can find who we truly are and what we are living for.

Almost all of us are broken by sexual sin in some way or another. No matter if the wounds are self-inflicted or caused by those we’ve loved and trusted, we celebrate knowing that God’s grace and mercy can give us a fresh start and new beginning.

Sex was God’s gift to us, to be enjoyed in marriage. While a selfish marriage can cause a husband or wife to be more susceptible to sexual sin, intimacy between them in a covenant relationship can unveil God’s good design for sexual satisfaction.

People will risk everything to satisfy their sexual urges only to find themselves more unsatisfied than ever. Before going further down the path of lust, ask yourself where it is leading. Pleasure or pain? And how much will it cost those around you?

After temptation leads to lust, David confronts what he has done and who he has become. We can learn from his example why we do what we never thought we would as well a healthy way to respond to sexual sin when we’ve committed it.

We are stronger together. As we face trials of many kinds, a community of believers is what helps us stand firm. We must not neglect being together, confessing our sins to each other, and encouraging one another as we see the day approaching.

So much of giving into temptation is the instant pleasure, but God has given us a way of escape in every season so we can walk in a life of true purpose and freedom.
