Paul is telling us that how we ought to behave is a result of who and what we are. So a proper understanding of what it means to be a Christian in the biblical sense is essential to how we ought to live our lives.

What is Easter all about?

1 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they…
