As those who have received the grace of God, we should live in ways that are vastly different than those who are still under the wrath of God. This doesn’t mean that we are moral, and they are not. This means that we have Jesus, and they do not. Unbelievers remain in sin with their minds closed to God’s truth, hearts hardened to God’s love and lives separated from God’s presence. Christians aren’t perfect. But our minds are guided by God’s truth, and our hearts are aglow with God’s love, and our lives are indwelt by God’s presence. We live differently because Jesus increasingly changes us from the inside out.
