Why I Believe What I Believe
Day 100
Biblical principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:
Why
do you do what you do? In your personal relationship with Christ or in your
public worship in the church, you need to know why you do what you do. If you
were to define your Christian life, how would you do it? Would you define it by
what you do or by stating what you believe? In the Bible, James shows that you
must do both.
James 2:20, But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without
works is dead?
To
define the faith side I would like to show that our faith is in the absolute
truths of God’s Word. For the discussion, we will use the term “principle” for
what we believe by faith - the absolute truths of God’s Word. We will use the
term “practical” to define what we do - our works. Our day needs to be filled
with Biblical principles and practical actions that do not violate these
principles. What I have found over a number of years of ministry is that people
do not know why they do what they do; neither do they know why they believe
what they believe. I hope this exercise will help provoke thought.
Practical - Works that apply Biblical principle:
What
are you doing today to find the truths from God’s Word and applying them?
