“4With respect to this they are surprised when you do no join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you; 5but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.” – 1 Peter 4:4-5 (ESV)
We have a choice to take part or to avoid. Our choice determines our commitment to the Grace of God.
“1Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.” – 1 Peter 4:1-2 (ESV)
When we have committed to Christ, we discard of sin as a way of life. We will still sin, as we are sinners. But, we will no longer consciously sin and repent of those sins we know of and those we do not.
We have the choice to be different from those around us. We have a choice to be devoted to Christ. We have a choice to be accountable for our sin.
When we go through this world, are you aware of your being different? Are you choosing to be devoted to Christ? Are you choosing to be accountable for your sin?
