A new name. -- REV.2:17. The disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. -- Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. -- They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. -- Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. Be ye . . . followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints. Now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light. Acts 11:26. -II Tim.2:19. -Gal.5:24. -I Cor.6:20.Gal.6:14,15.Eph.5:1-3,8. |
