STOP ACTING LIKE A CARNAL CHRISTIAN

1 Corinthians 3:1-4 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; up until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; 3 for you are still carnal. For where there is envy, strife, and divisions among you are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? 4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?

Godly people are peaceful people not contentious; if we are apart of God’s family we should behave as such.  God is not a God of confusion like carnal people that claim to be Christians but behave like the world.  When we receive Jesus as our Savior we are babes in Christ, but as we study, pray, worship, fellowship, and praise; we should grow and develop our fruit of the Spirit, that gives us Christ-like character.  As we mature in Spirit, the Word takes root and we are able to digest the wisdom and knowledge; that nourishes our souls, then we begin to act like Christ and not like the world.

Father, in the past, when we first receive You as our Savior we were like infants; we still need Your love, protection, and guidance; but we are wiser because of our relationship with You.  Lord, we will practice Your teachings daily; so Your Word will continue nourishing our Spirit, and creating in us a clean heart and mind.  Lord, search our Souls and remove all that is not of You, so we will not quarrel among ourselves but act like people of God at all times.  Father, let us not think too highly of ourselves, so we do not think we are more important than any other of God's children, so we do not have division among us, in Jesus name Amen
