The prodigal followed the soul-wasting life by “riotous living” Luke 15:13 “After a few days, the younger son gathered his possessions and left for a country far away from home. There he wasted everything he had on a wild lifestyle.
To “live soberly, righteously, and godly” in this world, is to prove we know the grace of God. Titus 2:12 It trains us to avoid ungodly lives filled with worldly desires so that we can live self-controlled, moral, and godly lives in this present world.
The believer in Christ is declared to “live” because of Christ (“by” means “because of”), hence the Christian life is from the Lord. John 6:57 The Father who has life sent me, and I live because of the Father. So those who feed on me will live because of me.
The justified “live by faith”. Romans 1:17 God’s approval is revealed in this Good News. This approval begins and ends with faith as Scripture says, “The person who has God’s approval will live by faith.”
As the Lord’s own, we are responsible to “live unto the Lord” Romans 14:7–8 It’s clear that we don’t live to honor ourselves, and we don’t die to honor ourselves. If we live, we honor the Lord, and if we die, we honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
To “live in the Spirit” is to evidence we have life from Him. Galatians 5:25 If we live by our spiritual nature, then our lives need to conform to our spiritual nature.
