We need to step back and see how others see us. We need to look for the fruit in our lives. Does it line up with the fruit we profess? Then we need to ask Holy Spirit to guide us into all Truth. ~ DickEvans.org

Eternal Life
It is the Spirit who gives eternal life, not our day to day works and the gift of eternal life is free. All we have to do to receive it is ask for it -- ask in faith and we will receive it. Once saved, our works take on a new dimension as Holy Spirit instructs and guides us. With Him; we already possess our salvation and His grace--no works required. ~ DickEvans.org

Listen
We must have the courage to warn without criticism our fellow believers so they are not pulled down into the pit with their fellow workers in the world. And we must be willing to receive the same warnings ourselves. We must listen to the Holy Spirit and listen to our brothers and sisters in Christ as they too listen to the Holy Spirit. ~ DickEvans.org

Lifestyle
Ephesians 3:10 NIV
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
What does your lifestyle say about what you believe? About who you are in Christ?
Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior to just go back to who you were without Him?
If so, then I would question your sincerity about asking Jesus into your heart. You see, He knows your heart.
You might fool that person who convinced you to seek Jesus, but never Him. The Holy Spirit is not in you as evidenced by your lack of evidence of the fruit of the spirit as well as your obvious passion for your old lifestyle.
A born again believer no longer desires the old way of life. He or she has seen the light and wants to be even closer to it, not further from it.
Yes, there is a process and it takes a lifetime to fully divorce from our old lifestyle. It can be a constant pulling away. As we trust more and more in He who is in us, our transformation becomes more evident to others.
For some, this is a quick process and for others, it can be a slow one. But fast or slow it is happening throughout our new life in Christ.
Christ is in us and we in Him. No matter how long it takes, He promises to never leave us or forsake us. He is in us for the long haul no matter how much we mess up in life.
As we delve into His word and practice His presence daily, we grow and receive more and more of the mind of Christ.
Believe it and receive it!

Never Stop
God time is not a parsed out piece of our life; as a believer, it is our life. Wherever we are we need to praise Him and look to Holy Spirit to guide us and teach us and use us. We must never, never stop doing what He has called us to do. ~ DickEvans.org

Open Our Mouth
The words of Christ live in our hearts and those words came from our digesting His Word and from the Holy Spirit through our relationship with Him. When He places someone in our path, we simply open our mouth and let His words speak to others to teach and to counsel them. ~ DickEvans.org

Shout It Out
The good news is not something to be whispered in closed rooms or only at church on Sunday. The Good News is for us to shout out just like we shout out our excitement about that last ballgame or movie we watched. ~ DickEvans.org
