       Trying to be good and do good is a characteristic of a truly born-again person. It is the way we can detect and understand if someone is truly saved. Do we see change in the person’s life? It is true that real life is found only Jesus. One doesn’t find the best life in just trying to be good—or trying to be pleasing to everyone—not trying to offend anyone. One finds real life in the living of life through the Spirit of God—though the Words of Jesus. The Apostle Paul noted in Romans, “For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace” (8:6, ESV). Possibly today you are poor in spirit—maybe you’re depressed. Maybe you see no hope in this world, nothing to live for. Well, I’ve got good news for you today. You can have real fulfilling life by recognizing a new identity in Christ. If you will turn from the things that offend God and give yourself over to him, he promises you an inheritance, one that includes both benefits now and even many more in the future.
