Once we become a child of God, a new creation and member of God?s family, we not only begin to walk as a child of the King but we take on His ways, His lifestyle, His thoughts, and His guidelines. The old life and way begin to disappear and the new life and ways appear each day in a magnificent way in our lives. We reject the world?s philosophy and embrace the philosophy of the Living Word, Jesus Christ and the written Word, the Bible – the Holy Scriptures of God. The teachings of God become the essence of our new life in Him.

Focus:

Read: John 14:6And Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
Jesus is not the only anwser for man?s sins and the only way of salvation—but He is truth, life and the only way in this present age and world to the Father.
Hebrews 10:19-22For Christians a new and living way. God
has provided this new way for is. Let us be consistent and steadfast as we grow in the way.

We need to follow Him, not men.
I Timothy 4:6,11-13Receive good teaching and be an example as
you exercise unto Godliness.
Colossians 2:3-10,20-22Christian beware lest any man spoil you
through worldly philosophy. It is not man nor the world that guides your life. It is the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and God?s immutable, unchanging, everlasting Word, the Bible.

Scripture Assurance: Ephesians 4:13-15 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.
