Clothe Yourself with Christ

Good morning 🌄

I've been in Chiba since yesterday.

This Sunday morning's word from Scripture…📖

Romans 13:14.
…
“Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.”
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
To clothe ourselves with Christ…🤔
What does that mean?
It means letting go of our former values…
and putting on the values of Jesus Christ.
…
The values of Jesus Christ…🤔
Love God, love yourself… and love others❗️
…
Before that…
we sought success in this world.
And along with that…
we had clothed ourselves in various sins.
…
In 1 John 2:16, it says:
“For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.”
That is what is written❗️

When our hearts become captive to this world…😨
we become ruled by our desires…😰
We are living in the end times.
The rapture (being taken up) of believers by Jesus Christ is drawing near.
…
“Prepare to meet your God.”
As it is written… now is the time for us to prepare.
*️⃣ Amos 4:12
…
So who are the Christians who will be caught up in that rapture…🤔❓️
…
They are those who have clothed themselves with Jesus Christ.
Shalom 😄
