Become one with him (Christ). I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith
That's plain enough, isn't it? You're no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You're no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone.
So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.
With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused.
You groped your way through that murk once, but no longer. You're out in the open now. The bright light of Christ makes your way plain. So no more stumbling around. Get on with it! The good, the right, the true—these are the actions appropriate for daylight hours. Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it.
So that he can no longer spend the rest of his natural life living by [his] human appetites and desires, but [he lives] for what God wills.
Philippians 3:9 Ephesians 2:19 Galatians 4:7 Ephesians 4:17 Ephesians 5:8 1 Peter 4:2
Godly zeal is love on fire.
