Look at every area of your life through the lens of God’s word?
If we truly believe that the Bible is the true word of God then we cannot just live it when we feel like it. As believers we need to live every aspect of God’s word rather than pick and choose what we like. When doubts arise within us about how we should deal with a certain situation, we must pull out the Bible, and find how God would want us to handle things.

1 Corinthians is a book that shows us as the church how to love God and others well.

First Corinthians discussed proper behavior as a Christian and what is acceptable belief and it isn’t believing in who educated; but what they taught us about the Lord and the love he has for each individual.

Love God, love others
This is the proper order. We should always put God first in our daily lives. By doing so, we will be able to remain humble and love others the way God intends.
