10 Principles For Godly Living (continued)
6. Spend time reading and thinking about what is in the Bible.
Ask yourself questions such as, what does this passage teach me about God, and what do I need to learn
to help me in my daily life. Memorize some passages that are especially meaningful to you.
7. Try to find other Christians who share a desire to know and love God like you.
Take time to pray for each other’s need and to share joys, sorrows, and the Christ you mutually know.
Such fellowship is designed by God to be a strength to us.
8. Love your children.
Tell them how much you love them often, and let them see your love through your patience,
forbearance, and kindness to them. Seek to guide them in the ways of Christ. Set an example where
they can see you, a flawed human like all of us, seek to love and follow Jesus.
9. Place your hope fully on Jesus.
Do not place hope in your own righteousness or goodness, but fully on him. Phil. 3:9-10
10. Love Jesus Supremely.
Take up His word and obey it. Seek first the things about Him, His will, and His righteousness. Love Him
with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength, all the time. Do not let your love
for Him grow cold but kindle it anew with the fires of thankfulness and praise, worship and adoration,
and quiet times of focusing and communicating with Him.
