Considering what you've learned in this lesson, and in previous lessons, how can you begin applying God's Word to your life in ways that will cause you to put feet to your faith? In other words, what are some practical ways you can live out your faith? (200 word minimum) I think that there are a lot of different ways that a Christian can live out their faith. Many of these things involve actions towards one's self and to others. I think the biggest thing that a Christian can do to first to begin to put their feet in their faith is to proclaim the gospel as the truth and proclaim that God is our source of life. Without the acknowledgment that the Lord is our Savior, we cannot live out our faith truthfully. Once you believe, you start to grow your faith through your actions and thoughts. For example, from this lesson, if we seek wisdom and apply the Bible's teaching's about wisdom to our lives and the trials we face, we will mature in our faith with God, and in return, we will receive peace from him. By relying on him for our peace and putting him first in our lives, we are able to truly live out our faith. Another example would be how we treat others. If we see ourselves as better compared to our neighbors, our lives will be in constant disorder. I think by consistently reading the Bible and trying your best to approach everyday situations in life through the eyes of God, we will be able to learn and grow our faith and begin to create a stronger foundational relationship with God.
