How Do I Apply the Bible to My Life?
Written by the team who designed and wrote the Life Application Study Bible, this commentary series provides valuable insights on how to apply God’s Word to life today. Every serious student of the Bible wants to understand the text, to discover the biblical principles, and to apply those timeless truths to his or her life. The Life Application Bible Commentary series delivers all of this and more.
Each volume features a thorough introduction followed by extensive and practical commentary. Throughout, you will find: maps, charts and diagrams, illustrations, classic quotes from noted Christian thinkers, application notes.
The Life Application Bible Commentary series is ideal for individuals studying the Bible personally; for Bible teachers leading small groups, classes, and seminars; and for pastors preparing their sermons.
BESIEGED ON ALL SIDES, the early church faced external and internal threats. Followers of Christ could easily have been defeated or diverted. A distinct minority in a pagan society, they could have capitulated to their culture. But challenged by God through these writings and strengthened by the Holy Spirit, they stood fast, even unto death. We, too, live in a hostile environment, a God-denying culture where many would enjoy eliminating all traces of the Christian faith. Crossing the centuries, these short and profound letters have been written for us. They encourage us to live godly lives, to stand firm in our faith, and to be ready for Christ’s return.
