2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, {17} so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Christianity can be confusing. What’s it really all about? How can anyone know for sure? The fact that God gave us His Word, the Bible means that He wants us to know about Him. I’d say Christianity is about a relationship with God. A faith relationship with God through Jesus. That relationship starts and endures through contact with God’s Word. And God’s Word is useful! It trains us in righteousness so that we can live in response to what God has done for us.
Jesus came, lived, and died to pay the price for our sins. Now it’s our privilege to live for Him. Again, it doesn’t have to be complicated. God directs us to worship, pray, give, serve and interact with each other and the world around us. At the risk of oversimplifying things we could say it’s like a divine recipe. Scripture, prayer, service, giving, witnessing, these things are the ingredients for Godly living. It requires discipline, but God promises the power of His Spirit to move us along.
Get cookin’. Read, pray, worship, serve, give. The results will bring us happiness and will glorify God!
