Insightful, Biblical Devotions
“But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:15-16).
The Christian life is about godly life. It’s about living the way a born-again Christian should live. It’s about living to please God. Listening to God is the key to living to please God. You can’t live a holy life if you don’t know how to listen to God. Listening to Him will enable you to do His will. How do I find out God’s will? I listen to Him to hear what He says. The Holy Bible is God’s Word. God speaks through His Word, the Bible. He has a purpose and plan for our lives. How can I know the purpose of God if I can’t listen to Him?
The Bible is entirely true. “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth” (John 17:17). The Scriptures are God’s truth to His people. Read the Scriptures daily to know God. The Christian life involves your agreement with God. That is walking in oneness with Him. It involves you talking to Him and fellowshipping with Him. It is God’s will for us to live successful Christian lives. Is God still speaking today for us to listen? Yes, He is. Let’s start from the garden of Eden. He spoke to Adam and Eve and gave them a command. “Till the garden and take care of it”. He didn’t want them to be lazy but to work in the garden. He also said; the day you eat this fruit you shall surely die. He made it very clear to them, but somebody was not listening carefully. They were passive listeners, so they violated God’s command.
