Consider these helpful words about applying the Bible to our lives:

“Remember that application is not simply a cognitive exercise, a kind of “thought replacement” task in which we substitute good and true thoughts for false thoughts and idolatrous motives.  True application – living wisely in light of the passage – is always a relational experience that involves our whole being.  Fruitful application warms our hearts toward God and others.  It realigns our thoughts and attitudes according to the contours of God’s truth.  It involves concrete actions that evidence outwardly our devotion to God and service to others.  Wise application is nothing less than wholehearted worship of God and tangible love for others.”
