B. Apply Bible stories to your own life Under the guidance of the Holy Ghost, Paul wrote: Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come (1 Corinthians 10:11). Almost everything that was included in the Bible has a lesson in it for us to learn. If you will read the Bible stories with this thought in mind, then everything, whether from the Old Testament or the New, will be more meaningful and more valuable for you personally. The Bible is our FINAL authority. John 13:15; 1 Corinthians 10:6; Galatians 4:2231; James 5:10; 1 Peter 2:21 C. Befriend godly people This is a very important thing to do. The more time you spend with the people of God, the less you will be tempted to do worldly things. Also, you need not worry about being rejected by someone who is truly a godly person because that person will realize that we are all brothers and sisters in the Lord. We are exhorted over and over in the Bible to love one another as brothers and sisters. John 13:34; Romans 13:8; 1 Thessalonians 4:9; 1 John 4:7 D. Follow your Pastor It is important to attend church regularly and listen to the message that your Pastor brings to you. A wise pastor will give much godly advice and often show proper responses to very specific situations. He should be a primary source of information about your daily walk as a Christian. 1 Peter 5:13
