1Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. 2As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. 3For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.–1 Peter 4

Christian,

1. Learn to say NO to your selfish, sinful choices.
2. You naturally want to say YES.
3. But you are living for Jesus as you remain in Him.
4. He suffered for you. Can you at least resist your sin for Him?
5. Do not let your sinful past describe your ongoing present.
6. You should live refreshingly different lives than those who do not follow Jesus.
7. Is there a difference? Do you tell yourself NO? Is the current you more like the former you? I have to also ask these in my own life.–JMB
