Imitate God, therefore in everything you do because you are his dear children. Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity or greed among you.  Such sins have no place among God’s people.  Obscene stories, foolish talk, and course jokes – these are not for you.  Instead, let there be thankfulness to God.  Ephesians 5:1, 3, 4 NLT

What is commonly known as salvation in Jesus the Christ is the life that his grace gives to our character, which he says is to "be born again." When a man or woman receives God’s Grace a privilege comes which says - Imitate God, therefore in everything you do because you are his dear children.  So the Holy Spirit through the Apostle Paul then lists some of those sins that seem to plauge us along our journey. Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people.  The nature of grace is that it changes our values, our thinking, our emotions and our attitudes towards God, family, friends and co-workers. Obscene stories, foolish talk, and course jokes – these are not for you.  Today in grace we can choose to imitate God in everything we do. Imitating God with a heart full of thanksgiving will produce a great amount of joy. Let there be thankfulness to God. Here we can experience a delight in relationships with the Lord and each other that will overwhelm us in all the right ways.  May we be so refreshed in this grace that everyone who meets us today gets to see and hear through us the beauty of the grace of Jesus the Christ!!!
