Checkpoint 3

Checkpoint number 3: Am I living a holy life?

This is about you being wholeheartedly committed to defeat sin and grow to your full potential in Jesus Christ.

You are determined not carry on in any known sin but you are quick to put wrong things right with Christ’s help.

Romans 6.12-14. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.

Romans 8.14. For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,

You are not sinless, but you won’t put up with your sin when you discover it. You never give up on repentance. You want to maximise Christ’s reputation through your life. Your daily life gives evidence that Jesus Christ is your Lord. Your life is worship.

Romans 12.1-5

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
