Does all our pursuits have to be alignment with the Bible only? | As Christians, it is important to align our pursuits and actions with the principles and teachings of the Bible. The Bible serves as our guide for faith and life, providing wisdom and guidance for all aspects of our lives.
In Colossians 3:17, it says, "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." This verse encourages us to approach everything we do with a mindset of honoring and glorifying God.
However, it is also important to recognize that not every aspect of our lives will have explicit instructions in the Bible. In these cases, we can seek guidance from biblical principles and discernment through prayer and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Additionally, it is important to note that not all pursuits or knowledge outside of the Bible are inherently wrong or sinful. Many fields of study, arts, sciences, and other disciplines can be explored and enjoyed as long as they do not contradict or go against God's principles.
Ultimately, our goal should be to integrate our faith into every area of our lives, seeking to honor God and reflect His character in all that we do. |
