Ephesians 4:31-32 (NIV)
31. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

This is the way of Christ followers. There is no room for anything else – nope, no room. He has shown us the way, the truth and the life. Can anyone say this is not the best way? If you’re not seeking this with all your purpose, you’re not following Christ, not matter what you call yourself.

Matthew 25:34 (NLT)
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.”

This is the way of Christ followers. There is no room for anything else – nope, no room. He has shown us the way, the truth and the life. Can anyone say this is not the best way? If you’re not seeking this with all your purpose, you’re not following Christ, not matter what you call yourself.

1 Peter 2:24 (NLT)
24 He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.

This is the way of Christ followers. There is no room for anything else – nope, no room. He has shown us the way, the truth and the life. Can anyone say this is not the best way? If you’re not seeking this with all your purpose, you’re not following Christ, not matter what you call yourself.

He has bought our salvation if we’re willing to submit to him and give him the place in our life he requires. There’s a lot of hate out there right now, hate in the name of hating hate, hate in the name of hating hate in the name of hating hate. Crazy what passes for right and wrong.

1 John 4:7 (NLT)
7 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.

If we’re not forgiving, if we’re not caring for others, if we’re not accepting our place in the pecking order, if we’re not loving unconditionally, we’re not following Christ.

It’s time to get priorities straight and follow Christ the way he commands us to follow him. This is the way of Christ followers.
