Title: The Right Life of a Christian
The first admonition is to always put effort into prayer in order to become a good saint.
A believer who does not put effort into his prayer life is giving up on becoming a good believer. This is because prayer is the channel of all God's grace.
You must always (always) be a praying saint. Don't just pray when you need it, but be a praying person who always prepares. Prayer is the secret to getting closer to God.
You must become a saint who prays earnestly (and earnestly). Prayer takes effort. Not many people find it fun to pray. Even if prayer is difficult, it is important to keep striving. Your earnest prayers will surely be answered.
We should especially pray for the ministers (those with Paul). It is very important to pray behind the scenes for those working in the front.
The second exhortation is the attitude of the saints toward unbelievers.
The behaviors of believers living in the midst of unbelievers have a great influence on the gospel.
Everything must be done with wisdom. Because unbelievers do not know the truth of the gospel, they judge their faith only by the outward life of believers rather than by their inner spiritual depth. Therefore, when dealing with unbelievers, we must act wisely, and as a Christian, we must show an exemplary, conscientious life and love.
You have to save time. We should not think that we have an infinite amount of time. I hope you enjoy your time, which is more precious than gold. You should not live blindly, but live on a scale. The more clear the goal is, the more successful they are, the more they do everything on a larger scale.
You must not miss the opportunity (evangelism). The reason lions are scary is that once grabbed, they do not let go easily. We must do our best to understand and know the will of God.
Words are to be spoken with grace, as they are seasoned with salt. Words that are conscious of God are beautiful. Add some wit to your words.
