OUR BELIEFS DETERMINE OUR BEHAVIOR

“Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.” (Proverbs 4:23 TEV)

The Bible tells us there are three reasons why it matters what you believe.

Proverbs 4:23 says, “Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts” (TEV). The first reason why you need to know what you believe and why you believe it is because it shapes your life.

The Bible tells us that our beliefs determine our behavior. If there are things in your life you want to change, you don’t change them from the outside in. You change them from the inside out. You start with your thought life, not by trying to change external things.

Second, if you have a faulty worldview, it’s going to cause all kinds of unnecessary problems in your life.

The Bible says in Proverbs 29:18, “If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; but when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed” (MSG). When you don’t have God’s truth and a correct worldview, you stumble all over yourself. But when you pay attention to God’s revelation, then you are blessed. 

Do you want your life to be blessed? Just attend to the truth. Pay attention, and get your worldview in line with truth, not popular opinion.

The third reason is found in 1 Peter 3:15: “Always be ready to give a logical defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope that is in you. But do it courteously and respectfully” (AMP).
