Here are five ways to put the Bible to work every day of your life. Apply It You cannot apply the Word of God until you know the Word of God, so knowing what Jesus and the other authors in the Old and New Testament tell us about how we’re to interact with the world, lets us apply it those in the world. Jesus gives us a clue as to how to apply His teachings in our lives by saying, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matt 5:44). If you’re hated for your faith, love them…
