How do we decide what is right and wrong?  Can we just do or say anything as long as we don’t hurt anyone?

In a 2019 UK survey¹, 69% of participants said that people should be free to live their lives as they want, as long as that doesn’t harm others.  32% believe that their right to express their views is more important than their impact on other people.

The Bible, on the other hand, provides us with a set of positive guidelines to live by.  For example, Jesus said:

“Whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them” (Matthew 7v12)

God tells us not to steal or lie:

“You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another” (Leviticus 19v11)

What we say and do can have a big impact on others.  If we are more considerate and thoughtful before we act or speak then we can prevent upset and arguments.  Following advice found in the Bible leads to healthy relationships with those around us.

The Bible is God’s message to us and contains wisdom on how we should live our lives.  Why not read God’s words in the Bible regularly and then try to put them into practice in your own life?   If you would like a Bible Reading Planner please contact us and we will send you one, or if you have any questions, ask us and we will try to answer.
