R —Resurrected to live a new spiritual life here on earth (Rom. 6:4,5; Gal. 2:20).
I —-Influencing those about him so they may see his good works which results in their glorifying God (Mt. 5:16).
S —Serving God as a loving bond-servant with a kind, helpful and caring master (Lk. `2:37-48).
T —Trusting in the living God (I Tim. 4:10). Trusting what God has said is that which God can do (Rom. 4:21).
