Day-To-Day Living With The Lord

By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Director - http://www.LoveAllPeople.org
Some people prefer a private type of religion, where they simply want to
live their lives in a normal everyday manner, in harmony with the will of
God. They don't want to save any souls, or lead any movements, or be a
conspicuous "religious person" in any way.
Such people are acceptable to God, although He would prefer that they take
a more open active stance for Him. And He reserves his best blessings for
those who openly and boldly express their love and devotion to Him.
Nevertheless, He loves and accepts those who simply want to live in
private accord with His will for them.
For these people, here is all they really need to do:
THE BARE MINIMUM . . .
1. Accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.

Jesus promises that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life." (John 3:16 KJV)
2. Follow the Golden Rule, which is, "Treat Others The Way You Would Like
To Be Treated."

Jesus teaches that all of God's law is embodied in the Golden Rule.
The Golden Rule
_____________________________________________________________
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to
you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
(Matthew 7:12 KJV)
_____________________________________________________________
If you do these two things alone, you will meet all of God's minimum
requirements. You will have a full and rich life on earth, and you will
have an eternity in heaven after you leave this life. You will NOT reach
your highest potential, and you will not receive the highest blessings.
(To achieve these things, you would need to seek Him actively and to
desire intensely to be ever-closer to Him at all times.) But you will be
okay. And for many people, this is all they seek.
IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE BARE MINIMUM . . .
Also Follow The Ten Commandments
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (Restated for people outside of Biblical Israel)
1. "Do not put anything ahead of God your Creator."
2. "Do not make or worship idols."
3. "Do not take the name of God in vain."
4. "Take one day of complete rest each week."
5. "Honor your father and your mother."
6. "Do not commit murder."
7. "Do not commit adultery."
8. "Do not steal."
9. "Do not tell lies against anyone."
10. "Do not covet other people's possessions."
(Based on Exodus 20:1-17, restated in Deuteronomy 5:6-22.)
