The Bible as a guide to everyday living

Guide readers in their everyday living

Guide people to jesus ans so the bible isnt thw guide to everyday living but Jesus is

Christians saved through fith in Jesus rather than behaviour

If humans love god then Jesus will live in them nd guide the to obedience, adn when they fall they can repeant for their sins which they know wil be given to them

Jesus gave example of how to live, therfore the purose of Christian life is to show loyalty to Jesus by rejecting selfish desie and follow him in his obedience to God

In the sermon on the mount jesus said he did not come to abolish the law of moses but to fulfill it

The bible as a source of comfort and encouragement

On temptation and sin - even the most devout people may fall from time to time, but you can find repentance and god will forgive

On bereavment - Death is not the end. in John 11;11 tells us of Lazarus "he has fallen asleep but i am going to awaken him" and Jesus rose him from the dead

On poverty - the poor are to be treated equally 

On suffering - when handled jyfuly can be a testimony to the character of Jesus 

On fear of death - Jesus has concouqured death so that people who believe in him may share in his resurrection
