The Goal
Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.
This is not a leisurely stroll… This is work
“Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
Trust the Means of Grace
Word
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Prayer
pray without ceasing,
Fellowship
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Hebrews 10:24-25
2. Guard Against Worldliness
Define Worldliness
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
It’s not a place but a system of thoughts, beliefs and practices
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
3. Think Holy Thoughts
Our Condition
The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1
In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
The Gospel Works
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians
Our Daily Practice
When I think on my ways,
I turn my feet to your testimonies;
I hasten and do not delay
to keep your commandments.
Psalm 11959-60
4. Watch for Temptation
We are inclined to sin
Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Watch our eyes, ears, environment and heart
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
5. Consider How Short Life is
The years of our life are seventy,
or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span is but toil and trouble;
they are soon gone, and we fly away.
“Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning, and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks.
But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
6. Redeem Our Time
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
7. Fellowship with Godly People
Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,
but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
We need their:
Wisdom
Prayers
Zeal
