Dear ones, it is the same with your life! Studying the Bible, understanding the word of God, and learning to use all the commandments and laws of the word of God, is the key to knowledge, which is like the key of the car! All sermons, Christians books, and Bible courses are very useless without the purpose of directing them into your own life! Besides, be willing to pay the price and to do them! As the car key is useless without driving your car on the road!
Where do you Want to Direct Your Life?
The purpose of having Christian knowledge and apply it is to enable you to take your own life from the way of the world to the way of the Kingdom of Christ.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV
God is waiting for you to understand that the path of the Kingdom of Christ is obedience, to allow God to rule over you! It is by obeying his commands. Understanding and doing exactly what God says should prepare you for the path of obedience to God, not the path of Pride in the Knowledge!
Obedience will shape your heart, mind, and life, into the lifestyle of action on the Word of God! And that’s what makes you find the New Lifestyle in Christ. You will discover, taste, and see that God is faithful to all His promises to those who obey Him by action, not only by lips.
So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; John 8:31 NIV.
“He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” John 14: 21 NIV.
Think About it…
How can you use your Key of the Word of God to start leading your life to God’s revealed will? Establish a plan and prepare yourself for action to fulfill God’s Word. Start by doing the things you already know in your heart in accordance with the Word of God, that still resist God’s will in your life. Start to put the word of God into practice!
For example, Watch the words of your mouth and practice the truth! Speak only what edifies! Cut all types of Gossip and lies! Put Jesus as the priority of your time! Pray, worship Him, and pray for the people that you find in your way home, school, work! Invest your money in the Kingdom of God! Invest your time in God’s Presence! He will lead you and teach you how to drive on the journey of this life!
“Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.” Deuteronomy 5:33 NIV.
