b. What kind of life should we live?
Answer: We should live a life worthy of the Lord, (verse 10).
Galatians 2:20: "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me."
Ephesians 4:1-5: "As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and One Spirit--just as you were called to one hope when you were called--One Lord, one faith, one baptism; One God and Father of all, Who is over all and through all and in all."
Ephesians 5:1-2: "Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."
1 Thessalonians 4:7: "For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life."
1 Peter 4:1-2: "Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin. As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the Will of God."
