1. Resist being shaped by the values of this world. - Psalm 1:1, Romans 12:2
2. Read and meditate on God's Word daily. - Psalm 1:2, 3
3. Apply Bible counsel in your life. - Joshua 1:7-9
4. Make God your friend. - James 2:23; 4:8
5. Fear the true God and keep his commandments. - Ecclesiastes 12:13
Having God as our Friend gives us hope for the future. The apostle Paul urged Christians "to rest their hope, not on uncertain riches, but on God." In this way, they would be "safely treasuring up for themselves a fine foundation for the future, in order that they may get a firm hold on the real life." (1 Timothy 6:17-19) This real life will come about soon when God's heavenly Kingdom restores Paradise to this earth. - Luke 23:43.
