Let the Peace of God Rule in Your Hearts
Go for peace rather than arguments; for you were called unto peace in the body of Christ, not to the world.
Hypocrisy Will Always Be Temporary
God has made this world such that seedtime and harvest will always revolve (see Genesis 8:22). You’ll always reap what you sow, but not how you sow it; it’ll be more than what you sow.
Abstain from Fornication
As a child of God, know that the Holy Spirit is inside you. Your body is His temple (see 1 Corinthians 6:19). That means, with His help, you can devise ways and means to control your body in sanctification (consecration or purity of your heart and life) and honour (value).
Abound in Love Toward One Another
Don’t always attribute anything wrong you see another believer does to an attitude flaw. Just abound in love toward that person and watch how God transforms his life with time. If all believers will live like this, I think there’ll be less bitterness among people in this world.
Pay Back Good for Evil
For us Christians, God doesn’t want us to carry both good and evil thoughts in our minds. That is why He wants to build a world where believers will need nothing from the world to go about life’s activities. But since we live in an evil age (see Galatians 1:4) where some people we interact with daily are unbelievers, He doesn’t want us to be ignorant of their evil ways.
Do Not Associate with People Given to Change
Child of God, disassociate from people living confused. Do not follow their counsel, or else they’ll infect you with their confusion. God created you on purpose for a purpose. Find out that purpose by developing a deeper intimacy with Him, follow Him as you’ve heard Him speak, and your life won’t be the same again.
Purge Your Life
When Jesus said, “And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell…” (Mark 9:45), He was speaking of purging lives of worldly distractions that keep them from hearing and following Him, not doing surgery to take out your legs.
Think Well of Your Enemies
You might have strong reasons to speak harsh words against those who attack the anointing upon your life to do God’s work in peace. But Assume the place of love and forgive them. Think well of your enemies. Don’t wish them to fall, although they deserve it.
Disassociate from Haters of Unity in Christ
Watch out (observe) those who cause divisions and preach doctrines against the truth about Jesus you’ve received. If you have to unfollow them online, do so. If you have to stop listening to their sermons, do it. The goal is to help you stay in the faith without confusion.
Are You Wandering from Your Rightful Place?
Avoid following popular opinions of people to do things God has not told you to do. Finding direction in life is not about following the trend but the voice of God.
Faithful Are the Wounds of a Friend
Don’t let another believer’s dissimilar attitude destroy your countenance at times. Sometimes, God wants to teach you great things through the behaviours of such people and several life encounters whenever they are around.
Divorce Is Not in God’s Dictionary
Dear believer, you’re not of the world. If unbelievers accept divorce, stick to God’s principle of permanent marriage covenant.
