#8 Do Not Blame God for the Troubles in Your Life This is the promised comfort for everyone who calls on His Name with a believing heart. When we do this, He responds with an everlasting love and a peace that passes all understanding. We must respond to God’s call on our hearts by clinging to Him in times of trouble and giving the best of our love to Him. Psalm 91:14 says, “Because he holds fast to Me in love, I will deliver him I will protect him, because he knows My Name.” #7 Cling to God, and He Will Remember You
However, if we dedicate our best efforts to God in whatever we do – in our work, in our service, in our giving, and in our witness – we will live with the proper end in sight, and God will bless us for it.
When the only motivation for our actions is the approval of others, every achievement will be hollow and temporary. #6 Remember That We Should Live for God, and Not for Human ApprovalĬolossians 3:23 says, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” This is one of the best ways we can preach the Gospel every day a faithful life can point others to God, and allow them to experience the same joy of salvation that we have. This means that we should boldly live out our faith, and always be ready to answer for it when others see God working in our lives.
Matthew 5:16 says, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father Who is in heaven.” #5 Live Your Life as an Active Witness for the Gospel When we do good to others by sharing with them, God recognizes our selflessness and sees it as a sacrifice of service to Him. This applies to how we spend our time, what we do with the spiritual gifts and natural-born talents we possess from God, and our financial and material possessions. We are called to live generously, giving to others without thought of what we will get in return. Hebrews 13:16 says, “Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.” #4 Bless Others with Your Time, Talents, and Treasure It will not be easy, and it must be done throughout your life, but we can claim this promise that God will always care for us, and He is able to take our fears and replace them with His peace. The next time you are afraid, try giving your fear over to God. #3 God Cares for Us and Wants to Calm Our Fearsġ Peter 5:7 says, “Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.” By treasuring Jesus above all else, our hearts will be properly aligned and attuned to His purposes. The danger lies in placing something other than God as the object of our greatest value and love. When we ascribe value or worth to something, we will seek to protect and hoard it for ourselves. Jesus is speaking about what we treasure in our hearts, as well as our physical treasure. Matthew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” #2 Treat God as Your Most Treasured Relationships This is the critical first step to dedicating your life to God as a believer in Christ: removing everything else from the center of your life and living for Him alone. However, its familiarity should not dissuade us from taking it seriously. This is the first of what is popularly known as the Ten Commandments. #1 God Should Always Be First in Our HeartsĮxodus 20:3 says, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Here are 25 lessons that we can build our life and faith upon.
