Many Christians make Christ a peripheral part of their lives, only praying when they're having a problem, placing no emphasis on prayer, repentance, fellowship, and Bible reading.
Other Christians depend on Christ daily, seek His help and guidance in good times and bad, check their hearts for unrepentant sin, seek godly fellowship, and regularly read and study Scripture.
1. Get involved with people who stimulate you to love and good deeds, helping you apply Scripture to your life, and keeping you accountable (Hebrews 10:24).
2. Read your Bible regularly and deliberately, "listening" for ways it applies to your current problems, decisions and plans (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
3. Make your relationship with Jesus a priority, not an afterthought (Matthew 6:33).
4. Pray about everything! (Philippians 4:6)
5. Ask God to restore your "first love" and don't let anyone or anything distract you from that purpose (Matthew 24:12; Revelation 2:4-5).
If you're life resembles the first description or if it lies somewhere in between the two descriptions, I encourage you to:
1. Get involved with people who stimulate you to love and good deeds, helping you apply Scripture to your life, and keeping you accountable (Hebrews 10:24).
2. Read your Bible regularly and deliberately, "listening" for ways it applies to your current problems, decisions and plans (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
3. Make your relationship with Jesus a priority, not an afterthought (Matthew 6:33).
4. Pray about everything! (Philippians 4:6)
5. Ask God to restore your "first love" and don't let anyone or anything distract you from that purpose (Matthew 24:12; Revelation 2:4-5).
There is nothing more important in our lives than our relationship with Christ!!
