Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 1 Peter 2:11-12
I have heard it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission. I have often wondered where in the Bible does a Christian that has that mentality find that verse. I don’t find it at all. What I do find is scripture like, “Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God. “ or “Be ye holy for I am holy.”
Child of God, quit playing with fire! Just be the man and or woman of God He wants you to be! Be honest! Be faithful! Be committed! Be prepared! Be responsible! Be kind! Be true!
