1 John 2:8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.

When we accept Christ into our lives, we do change, be it consciously or subconsciously. Whether we go the whole hog or just a little change is really up to us!

God would like us to be as much like Jesus as we can be, but our struggle with our old lives and the changes this brings in mean we do vary in how much we change.

Trust Christ to make the change as much as possible in you and help you to make it permanent – without Him it may well fail on the first day…

Titus 2:6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.

Have you ever stopped to think about where you learned about many of the things you know in life? It was probably mostly from the people around you rather than through books and instructions…

We set examples for others to follow without realising just how much we affect their lives! If we are not careful about how we live, others are going to follow the example they see rather than the example you want them to hear!

Be a good person and people will notice! Lead by example!

Hebrews 5:12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!

How long does it take for you to understand parts of the bible? How many time do people have to explain things before you get it?

It takes us different times because we are all different people with different minds – we do not all learn in the same manner or the same speed.

Take in what you can understand and at the speed you can – don’t get upset you cannot keep up with others of that you will not be able to tell others about what you have just heard.

God will open up His word to you through the right people at the right time.

Isaiah 28:11 Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues God will speak to this people,

When we come up with excuses like “but I don’t understand the language the bible is written in”, God has already given us the answer!

No matter what walk in life we are from, God will find a way to speak to us through other people. If it has to be in a different language or through a different media, God will speak.

Who would have though about something like the internet in the day of Jesus? What is going to be the next great way in which we spread God’s Word – and spread it we must…
