Congratulations on taking Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, and welcome to the family. With most families, there are guidelines to follow and responsibilities to take care of. That’s how it is with God’s family too and this book explains some of those guidelines and responsibilities.
Ever since the Garden of Eden, God has been giving us instructions on how we should live our lives. Prior to the coming of Jesus, God used individuals such as Moses and the prophets to give His will to the people. Then Jesus came and spoke directly to the people to tell them how they should live. His whole ministry was about how people should live their lives. And after Jesus we were given the Bible for instruction. In fact, the whole Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is a manual on how to conduct our lives.
If we were to really study our Bibles and dig deeply into everything God and Jesus told us we would know exactly how we should be living our lives. But let's face it; the Bible is a very long book and most of us don’t have the time, patience, or inclination to do all that.
So, how do we get the knowledge God wants us to have to know how to live our lives? One way is to read books! Books which are written by people who have taken the time to read and study the Bible.
After more than 25 years of attending church, watching people, reading, and studying, it seemed to me that a lot of Christians, especially those who are new, just don’t know how to act. They don’t know how to pray or study the Bible; be obedient to and have respect for God; tithe; or repent from sin. They also don’t know about living honestly and serving others; keeping their bodies as temples by not doing drugs or by not being sexually promiscuous; by not being involved in pornography or adultery; by not giving into abortion or divorce. Christians are told we should not conform to the world, but the world should conform to us. Yet research consistently shows that is not the case. Many Christians are no different from others in the way they conduct their lives.
While pondering all of this, God placed a desire on my heart to help people know what He expects of them. Thus “Live Live Your Life God’s Way” was conceived. In this short and hopefully easy to read book, written not just from studying the Bible but also from trying to live it, you'll find ways to live a life that's pleasing to God; ways to live a more fulfilling life; and ways to set ourselves apart as followers of Christ. You’ll also find ways to help Jesus know you and who you are.
21“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ 23But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’” Matthew 7: 21-23 NLT
You knowing who Jesus is but living your life as you’ve always done isn’t enough; Jesus must know you. This book gives you ways to show Jesus who you are so that He will come to know you and welcome you into the Kingdom of Heaven.
