Are you a Christian? Be a Christian in deed and always. Although you are in the world, you are not of the world. Walk as one who has received Christ and has therefore become the temple of God. Walk by faith and not by sight. Let the Word of God direct your steps so that sin will not have dominion over your life. Walk triumphantly as one who has overcome the world in Christ.
