Staying on God’s path throughout your entire life is never easy. Humans are prone to sin, and we might fall to basic temptations. You could end up abusing substances and needing help from Christian rehab centers. Even if you are religious and follow a set of ethics, why are we as humans still prone to sin? Why are humans prone to addiction and substance abuse, even when taking drugs excessively is illogical and harmful? The most obvious answer is that we’re just human. But this does not mean there are not steps you can take to stay on God’s path.
These are four ways you can remain focused on God’s message throughout your entire life, and avoid falling into temptation:
1.) Read The Bible Frequently. Possibly the easiest way to stay on God’s path is by reading The Bible. Most places, including houses and hotel rooms, contain a copy of the ancient text. Going through different passages to remember all the stories of God and his various prophets, not to mention his own son Jesus Christ, should help you remain committed to his ideals.
2.) Attend Church Service. They always say, practice what you preach, right? Well, this is a perfect way to practice your beliefs. By attending church service, you will find yourself participating in worship services alongside other churchgoers. There might even be a bible study, which can help with understanding your own private bible reflections. Together with a group of worshipers, you could learn more about God and his beliefs than you may have expected to do in the first place.
3.) Volunteer to Help The Poor or Homeless. Similar to attending church service, volunteer work can give you a chance to put into practice Jesus’ example of helping others. Not everyone has the same good fortunes as others. So, as Jesus and God instruct you in their biblical teachings, it is important to help others that have fallen. Assisting those in dire straits, in rising back up off the ground is not only be your duty, but a reminder of what God expects of you in this life.
4.) Teach Church Classes. Some churches have opportunities for education. That means you could volunteer to be a teacher, and others would be able to learn from you. However, the most important part of your educational instruction may be acting out God’s message. He certainly wanted everyone to have the same opportunities for learning and career goals.
While there are many different ways to approach continual practicing Jesus’ message in real life, the point is to always to remain doing what he wanted us, as humans, to do. You do not want to fall prey to temptations such as alcoholism and spend time in Christian rehab centers. Since you may not ever wish to stray from it if you do not have to, these four steps offer you a great way to stay steadfast in your relationship with God.
