A new life in Jesus

2

[Colossians 3:16]

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another

with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude

in your hearts to God.

3

Do you know the word Christian?

When we call Christians differently, they are called 'people who believe in Jesus'.

4

Christians refer to those who saved Jesus, that is, those who received the Messiah in his heart.

God gives eternal life gifts to those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior.

'Salvation' means to believe in Jesus and receive eternal life as a gift from God.

5

Being saved is like saying that you are born again.

Because of the death of Jesus on the cross,

I am free from the bondage of sin and have new life born again.

6

We did not pay any costs when we were saved.

Salvation is the gift of grace given free by God.

God has allowed us to be a citizen of Heaven without receiving any price.

7

Colossians tells precisely how people with heavenly citizenship should live in this earth.

Let's read it together. “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”(Col 3:2)

8

We, as citizens of the kingdom of heaven, follow the word of God,

saying that God in heaven should do what pleases him.

The above is what God commanded us to do.

9

The things of the earth refer to things God does not rejoice.

Sexual sin, evil behavior, bad thoughts, covetousness, etc.

The Bible says that those who fall into these sins are like those who value their sins

rather than God.

10

The Bible also tells us the sins we do in our lives.

Angering behavior, words or actions that hurt other people's minds,

language that is not beautiful, and lies.

11

These actions or words should not be a heavenly citizen who is believed and saved by Jesus.

Because we were born again with Jesus.

This is because the Holy Spirit will help those

who have children of God to overcome these sins.

12

The Bible also speaks well of how the child of the saved God should act.

As you have received the love of God, you should be generous to others.

When dealing with others, you must be kind, meek, and persevering.

13

You must be someone who is good at forgiving others.

You should try to forgive rather than get angry.

You have to be willing to forgive as much as you can when other friends have

caused you some damage.

14

Why should we live such a forgiving life?

It is because we are the people who have received greater forgiveness.

Without God's forgiveness, we are sinners who cannot go to heaven.

However, because God has forgiven us,

we are able to go to heaven and we must also be able to forgive others.

15

We are the people who receive the love of God without a charge.

Therefore, we have to make each place united by the love of others.

We are called to be children of God for peace.

16

God's children are people who have a rich Word of God.

It is a person who is eager to praise God.

He and she always live in gratitude for everything God has given.

We must always strive to make our words and actions glorious in God.

17

It is the greatest blessing on earth that we are children of God.

We have received eternal life without any charge.

We are allowed to live with Jesus in heaven forever.

We, all of us who have received this grace, will not sin,

but live as those who do good in God's rejoicing.
