How Do Bible Principles Benefit Us?


1. Why do we need guidance?

Our Creator is wiser than we are. As a loving Father, he cares for us.  Also, he not intend for us to be independent of him.  (Jeremiah 10:23) So just as a small child needs the guidance of parents, we all need the guidance of God.  (Isaiah 48:17, 18) Bible principles provide guidance that is a gift from God. -Read 2 Timothy 3:16.

2. What are Bible principles?

Bible principles are fundamental truths.  Laws, on the other hand, may be for specific circumstances.  (Deuteronomy 22:8)  We must use thinking ability to understand how a principle applies in a particular situation.  (Proverbs 2:10-12) For example, the Bible teaches that life is a gift from God. That basic principle can guide us at work, at home, and while traveling. It leads us to take safety precautions. -Read Acts 17:28.
