Healthy living: The Kingdom lifestyle
The word lifestyles mean the way of life. The way you live consistently defines your lifestyle. The Christian lifestyle is different from the lifestyle of the world. Yes, we may feel and experience the same things others do but we have been called to a higher life. This higher life is guided by God’s kingdom principles and not by worldly principles. So, when we raise a family, do business, party, celebrate, give, and enjoy humor, marry, talk, and watch movies we do not go by the world’s standards but by kingdom standard.
Now that we are in Christ, the lifestyle we maintained outside Christ did not automatically change to kingdom lifestyle by itself. Yes, our spirit man was recreated but we must work on our mind and flesh to conform to the reality of the recreated human spirit in Christ. We must apply ourselves according to Romans 12:2. We must deliberately and consistently invest our time to:
- Develop and improve on our knowledge of the word of God.
- Build our relationship with the Holy Spirit.
- Be and do kingdom principles as outlined in the bible.
- Develop a culture of prayer and service to the Lord with patience, joy and thanksgiving.
Our posts in this sections, lifestyle, healthy living, blog will help you in your work towards a greater and more fulfilling life in Christ.
