Who, or what, is steering your life? If our faith and
actions are not shaped by the Bible, they will be shaped by something
else—culture, feelings, tradition, convenience, or compromise.
Paul proclaims that Christ died for our sins, was buried,
and resurrected "in accordance with the Scriptures." This phrase signifies
not only the fulfillment of prophecy but also a call to align our lives with
God's Word. Jesus lived, suffered, and triumphed exactly as God had foretold.
His life was not steered by human traditions, fleeting emotions, or societal
expectations—He walked in perfect obedience to the written Word. Similarly, our
beliefs and daily conduct must also be "in accordance with the
Scriptures." The Bible is not merely a book we affirm; it is the divine
blueprint for how we are to live.
God's Word stands as the ultimate authority, the measure of
all truth. In a world where truth is constantly being redefined, many profess
faith in Christ yet live outside of Biblical alignment. The call of Scripture
is not just to believe in Jesus but to follow Him, ordering every aspect of our
lives according to what God has revealed.
We are not called to live by what seems right in our own
eyes, nor by what the world around us promotes; we are called to live by the
unchanging truth of God's Word. The Scriptures dictate our morality, our
priorities, our belief system, our worldview, and our hope. Just as Christ
fully submitted to the Father's will, we too must surrender our own ways, bringing
our thoughts, choices, and convictions under the authority of God's Word.
Reflect on your life: Are your beliefs truly grounded in the
Bible, or have they been shaped by popular opinion? Do your decisions reflect a
life in harmony with God's truth, or do they cater to personal comfort or
worldly pressures? Merely claiming faith is insufficient—we must walk in
alignment. Let Scripture be your lens, your compass, and your foundation. Align
your heart, your mind, and your actions with God's revealed truth.
May the Lord grant you wisdom to discern His truth, strength to walk in obedience, and joy in knowing that your life is firmly rooted in accordance with the secure and unchanging Word of God. May His Word be the light guiding your steps and the rock upon which you stand.
