As God has given us the Bible to direct our lives, how does it answer the question for us "How shall we then Live?" Titus 2:12,13 say "Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should LIVE SOBERLY; RIGHEOUSLY AND GODLY, in this present world. LOOKING FOR THAT BLESSED HOPE, AND THE GLORIOUS APPEARING OF THE GREAT GOD AND OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST." We learn from 1Jn 1:7 "But if we WALK IN THE LIGHT, as he is in the light, WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP ONE WITH ANOTHER, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." 2Co 5:15 goes on to tell us about Jesus and how we should live saying "And that he died for all, that they which live SHOULD NOT HENCEFORTH LIVE UNTO THEMSELVES, BUT UNTO HIM WHICH DIED FOR THEM, and rose again." Eph 5:2 encourages us to "...WALK IN LOVE...", while 1Pe 2:24 says "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should LIVE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS: by whose stripes ye were healed." There are many other verses that tell us how to live, such as Micah 6:8, Deut 6:5, Mt 4:4, Col 3:23, Phil 4:4, and 2Co 10:31, to name just a few, but if we were to just do a good job in following these few mentioned previously, we would be well on the road of fulfilling how God would have us live.
