Doing right

Faithfully pleasing God is an activity, not just a nice set of beliefs. It must be a way of life. Even for many people who have an enormous amount of Bible knowledge, God makes little difference in how they actually live their lives. If Christ doesn’t make any difference in my ethics and values at my job; if He doesn’t affect my speech and attitudes towards co-workers; if he makes absolutely no difference in the way I live and work, then, what difference does He make? What’s the point of playing a religious game that is all talk and no action?
Whenever you’re exposed to Scripture, ask yourself: How can I apply this to my life? What practical thing can I do to embed this truth in my attitude, character, and behavior? Where does it need to make a difference? That’s a commitment to life change.
