[Blog] The BIBLE says it all

While the world says, to follow your heart
The Bible says, "Guard it for everything you do flows from it." (Proverbs 4:23)


While the world says, you are ugly,
The Bible says, "You are wonderfully made by God" (Psalm 139:14) and "God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him." (Genesis 1:27)


While the world says, it's okay to answer back to our parents so long as we have a point,
The Bible says, "Honor your father and mother' and 'Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death." (Matthew 15:4)


While the world says, it's okay to have pre marital sex,
The Bible says, "Your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit who is in you. Honor God with your bodies" (1 Corinthians 6:19a and 20b)


While the world says, it's okay to live together before getting married,
The Bible says, "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." (Hebrews 13:4)


While the world says, it's okay to have extramarital relationships,
The Bible says, "...each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband." (1 Corinthians 7: 2-3)

While the world says, "do not get mad, get even"
The Bible says, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." (Matthew 5:44)

While the world says, you have to do everything to get rich even if it takes hours in the office,
The Bible says, "Do not wear yourself out to get rich;do not trust your own cleverness." (Proverbs 23:4)


While the world says, do good deeds so you can get to heaven,
The Bible says, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)



These are just a few of things that the world contradicts with God's will. The world will mislead you so be guided by the light that only comes from God. However, we must not forget that someone paid for our sins by dying on the cross and only Jesus can save us from our sins. In Him, we are new creations - the old has gone, the new has come. GOD Bless us all!
