[:en]Thoughts from “Our Daily Bread” (8/26/18)[:]

[:en]Believers are a “chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession” (1 Peter 29).  As such, we have to live a lifestyle that honors Him.  Peter urged us to “abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul” (1 Peter 29:11) and to have behavior worthy of Christ.  In his letter to the Philippians, apostle Paul wrote:  “whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things” (Phil. 4:8).  Indeed, these are the characteristics of behavior that can glorify Him.[:]
