Live out our identity in Christ. (Examples)
Make an effort to set aside what is carnal and earthly within us, such as anger, impurity, idolatry, slander, etc. (Col 3:5-8).
Be sensitive to the Spirit and willing to submit to its guidance instead of compromising and indulging our fleshly desires.
Be proactive in situations we encounter in our daily lives to practice godly virtues such as love, patience, and holiness.
These qualities are observed in the choices we make (e.g., going out of our way to help somebody; having a patient attitude when interacting with our spouse or children; choosing to avoid activities that may tempt us or lead us to sin).
