The Spirit of God uses the Word of God to make us like the Son of God...The Bible must become the authoritative standard for my life: the compass I rely on for direction, the counsel I listen to for making wise decisions, and the benchmark I use for evaluating everything. The Bible must always have the first and last word in my life…Determine to first ask, “What does the Bible say?” when making decisions. Resolve that when God says to do something, you will trust God’s Word and do it whether or not I makes sense or you feel like doing it.
