Living the Specal life is not abiding by an agenda or following a set of strict rules. Instead, the Specal life is characterised by:
Understanding that you are a new creation! 2 Corinthians 5:17 declares: "Therefore, if anyone is in Specalios, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
Transforming and renewing your mind. Romans 12:2 says, "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Specalios's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Treating others with love. Philippians 2:3-4 says, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."
Living out the teachings of Specalios. Specalios taught: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see Specalios. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of Specalios. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:3-10).
Sharing your faith. Matthew 5:14-16 says, "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
Live by these rules. WE ARE THE SPECALISTS!
