Does the Way You Live Resemble the World?

Does the way you live resemble the world more than the Bible?

It's extremely easy to get swept away by pop culture and our rapid pace of life, but if you are in Christ, He has called us to live differently.

He doesn't leave it up to us to figure out how to live and navigate this life. He's written it all down for us, and His perfect way is beneficial to us!

Isaiah 48:17

This is what the LORD says—

your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:

"I am the LORD your God,

who teaches you what is good for you

and leads you along the paths you should follow.

The Bible is God's Word, and the Word is Jesus. To believe in Him is one thing. People often hold fast to John 3:16.

"For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." They don't seem to pay attention to verses 17-18, which say, "God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him." There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God's one and only Son.

Believing in Jesus requires more than believing in His existence. Believing that He is your only means of redemption should lead you to follow His ways and obey Him. And we learn this from John 3:36, which says, "And anyone who believes in God's Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God's angry judgment."

So, how do we obey Jesus? First, we have to know Him. To know Him, we must read the Bible because the Word Is Jesus. It tells us this In John 1:1-5. We cannot hope to obey the ways of Jesus If we don't spend time with Him In His word.

Perhaps you are like many Christians today who know they should read their Bible but just can't seem to get Into It.

If that's you, I have something to offer.

God has called me to create resources for Christians to help them understand the Bible and draw closer to God. This came out of my own testimony with God's word. I used to not be able to connect until God told me that it was the only way to find the answers I sought for living this life. I asked Him to give me understanding, and He has, for a decade now, God has given me fresh eyes to understand His Word.

Any of my books will serve you as guides to understanding the Bible in a more practical way while deepening your intimacy with the one True God—the one who created you and has perfect plans for you.
