I've decided to base my life on the Bible (yes, that does mean you have the right to correct me if I say anything contrary to it!). Here are some of my favourite Bible verses. I believe they are particularly relevant to how one should live as a disciple of Christ. This first two verses remind me that everything I do should be done in love and for the glory of God. That's hard. The third verse reminds me that I need to fully surrender to God's plan for my life. That's hard. The fourth eliminates the excuse "I'm just a youth, so I can wait until I'm older to follow God" and lists five things I need to work on continually. That's also hard. The last verse reminds me that it may be hard, but through God I can do it all.
Do everything in love. - 1 Corinthians 16:14
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. – 1 Corinthians 10:31
Those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples. – Luke 14:33
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. – Philippians 4:13 (NASB)
These verses are all from the New International Version except for the last one, which is from the New American Standard Bible.
