Key Bible Verse: "Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good." — Romans 7:12

Series Title: Identifying Your Core Values. Part 3
Today, we are examining "Aligning Core Values with Biblical Teachings." It's essential to root your values in biblical principles to live a life that reflects God's truth and love. Begin by studying the scriptures, seeking God's guidance in prayer, and evaluating your values against His word. Core values derived from the Bible include love, integrity, humility, and faithfulness. These values provide a solid foundation, guiding your actions and decisions according to God's will and bringing you closer to His purpose for your life.
Consider the story of Ruth. Her values of loyalty, kindness, and faith were deeply aligned with God's teachings. Ruth's decision to stay with Naomi, her mother-in-law, and her faithfulness to God led her to a new life in Bethlehem, where she became an ancestor of Jesus Christ. Her story demonstrates the importance of aligning your values with biblical principles, showing how God's blessings follow those who remain faithful to His word. Ruth's life was marked by values that reflected God's love and faithfulness.
To ensure your values align with biblical teachings, regularly engage in self-reflection and prayer. Ask God to reveal areas where your values may not fully align with His word and seek His guidance in making necessary adjustments. Studying the lives of biblical characters like Ruth can provide practical examples and inspiration. By aligning your values with biblical teachings, you can live a life that honours God and positively impacts those around you, reflecting His love and truth in all you do.
Aligning my values with biblical teachings has transformed my life, providing clear guidance and a sense of purpose. When I prioritise God's principles, I find peace and direction, even in challenging times.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." This scripture emphasises the importance of relying on God's wisdom to align your values with His teachings.
Take time to reflect on your current values. Are they rooted in biblical principles? Seek God's guidance in aligning your values with His word, and study the lives of biblical characters like Ruth for inspiration. Aligning your values with biblical teachings can help you live a life that honours God.
"Aligning your values with biblical teachings transforms your life, guiding you toward purpose and peace and reflecting God's love and truth in all you do."
Heavenly Father, I seek Your wisdom in aligning my values with Your teachings. Help me to root my beliefs in Your word, guiding my actions and decisions according to Your will. Reveal areas where my values need adjustment and grant me the strength to make necessary changes. Just as Ruth lived a life of faithfulness and integrity, let my life reflect Your love and truth. Guide me in my journey, and may my values honour You in all that I do. Thank You for Your guidance and love. In Jesus' name, Amen.
