In the same way that Jesus was sent into the world...we are sent. Does that mean that we're supposed to be as dangerous as babies. In the same way that God's word was manifest in Jesus…its supposed to be manifest in us, too. Does that mean that we just read it...or that as we read the word makes God's character grow in us?
So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
