S4-85 AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU (Br. Sam 7-29-23)

Our Senior Elder exhorts the saints to covet a genuine experience with the Holy Ghost. “That we put off concerning the former conversation {lifestyle} the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of our mind; that we put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” Our assembly is fed rich “meat in due season.” Still, the question is, are we taking full advantage of what God is offering?  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall NOT inherit the kingdom of God? Let us not be deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of us: but we are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” (1 Cor. 6:9-11).
