"The Abundant Life"
There was a time in our society, when the Bible was used as a standard for life. For example, on our money we placed
the words "in God we trust". The Bible was the basis for many of our courts laws and traditions. Sadly, the Bible is
not as much the standard for living that it once was, however, the Word of God still promises the best life to those
who follow it. Since the Bible does promise the best life, how does one live a Bible centered life?
Bible centered living requires that one apply the principles of the Bible to everyday situations. Paul said, "And
whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus..." (Colossians 3:17). Living by the Bible means
that when I am faced with a real life situation I look to God's Word for the answer. I ask the question, "What does
the Bible say I should do in this situation?". Don't forget; "His divine power (His Word) has given to us all things
that pertain to life and godliness..." (2 Peter 1:3)
Bible centered living requires changing one's habits. Once a person becomes a Christian he begins to walk in "newness
of life" (Romans 6:4). One part of living the new life means that we change our old ways. Paul commended the Christians
in Corinth because they left behind their sinful lifestyles to become children of God (1 Corinthians 6:8-10). The Bible
centered life must be a life of constant change to conform our will to God's Will.
Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." (John 10:10). The best
life one can live is a Bible centered life. If your life is not all you want it to be, then it may be time to get back
to living by the Bible. May God help each of us to live Bible centered lives!
