Is faith "part" of family life or is family life part of faith?
Being a person who believes in what the Bible says, I then believe that my relationship to Jesus Christ is first priority. What and how I believe affects every other part of my life.
This all means that I am a Christian first. That makes me a Christian husband, a Christian father, a Christian son and brother, a Christian pastor (or whatever my current job is) and a Christian citizen.
Faith in what God says about life, family, work, friendships and any other part of life defines my focus in those roles. It's really pretty good. I have an instruction book for life that still allows me freedom to express how I was made as well.
I can relax in knowing that I do not have to define every part of life. It's a bonus for me to live within the framework that God has put together. In fact, there are great promises for those who do live within His framework.
Faith is not merely a way of thinking; it's a way of living. It applies to every area of life.
I invite you to get my free audio called, What It Means To Be Christian by clicking the title.
It's for those wondering about the Christian faith as well as those who already are Christian.
