Walking in the Wisdom of God, Part 5

The question is a familiar one: In light of all that God has done, how should we then live? Divorce rates in the Church mirror the world, substance abuse is on the rise, and many Christians know the truth but are unable to regularly live it out. If we know our responsibility to walk in a worthy manner but still find ourselves falling short, what do we do? Some counsel us that God makes no righteous demands on His people, and to not burden ourselves with striving to obey. Others encourage us to seek comfort in spiritual experiences. But these ideas fail to acknowledge that the Bible always exposes our failures so that we may face them and live according to God’s ways. So how can we find the strength to live in a manner that pleases God? Fill your mind with the truth, speak it faithfully and regularly, hold one another accountable to obey all that God commands, and be thankful for this grace in your life.
