5 Steps to Change

Often my faith influences how I manage things at work. Here's something from my management file that is very applicable to faith. Hope it's helpful.

Here are 5 steps to change.

  1. Facts Lead to Knowledge
  2. Knowledge Influences Belief
  3. Beliefs Lead to Attitudes
  4. Attitudes Drive Behavior
  5. Behavior Influences Behavior of Those Around Us

We must know the Facts of the Bible first before we can have the Knowledge we need to believe. That belief (faith) affects our attitudes towards God, Life and sin. Those attitudes drive our behavior. Because our life has been affected by the facts of the Bible, others around us may desire to know God. So our behavior is a testimony to the facts. Then they may also seek the facts of the Bible because of what they saw in you.

Look at the list above, where are you right now? If you are at ground zero, start reading to know what the Bible says. If you know what the Bible says grow in your knowledge of the Lord. If you are growing then your faith is growing. If your faith is growing your life is changing. If your life is changing, your life will be a witness of Christ. You might not even know you have been evangelizing....actions speak louder than words! Just be ready to answer and send them to the Words that lead you to action!
