How Would Your Life Change?

I had an opportunity to participate in a Bible Study last week. We were given a passage of Scripture and we read it in four different translations. Then we had to paraphrase the passage in our own words. Following that we were asked to write down how our lives would change if we truly lived out the passage or particular verse of Scripture. It was an excellent way of looking at Scripture and applying Scripture in a more personal way.

"Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Hold firmly to the word of life; then on the day of Christ's return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless. But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God, just like your faithful service is an offering to God. And I want you all to share that joy." Philippians 2:14-17 (NLT)

How would your life change if you lived out this verse?

For me:

1. I would read Scripture more!
2. I wouldn't worry about how much money I make!
3. I would look for the positive in people and pray that they will be who God has created them to be!
