Short Thought #14: Under Subjection

When we enter the Kingdom of God our souls are changed; it is placed in the hands of God, it is repented, which means it is turned toward God. Now with that comes some changes involving our conduct. We are to make sure our thoughts, actions and emotions are all in tune with God. We are to keep are conduct in check, behaving as one who has been pulled out of the lost world and into God’s Kingdom. We are to walk as beacons of light for God Almighty, being clean Temples for the Holy Spirit to abide in. But remember the Holy Spirit can’t dwell in an unclean temple. And also, we will be tempted and tested. Therefore we are to constantly keep our mind, emotions and flesh under subjection. Bringing them under authority and to the obedience of Christ. The 3 areas of our soul are the mind, will and emotions and God expects us to subdue them all, that’s our job. God is not about to make you do anything, you make you do what it is that God requires of you. Don’t let your mind, will and emotions get the best of you, you get the best of it. You are in control!
