Top 10 Ways the Bible Changed My Life: #3. It Explains Human Behavior

Psychology is the study of mind and behavior. I could go to school and spend years studying the greats like Freud, Pavlov, and Carl Jung…or I could just pick up and read the Bible. I’m not knocking those men or their work. But who better to find out the truth about ourselves, than from the One who created us?  

God made humans in his image. That alone should give you some indication that we are more than just mere “creatures”. The Book of Genesis teaches us that God gave us dominion over all other creatures on the planet. I’m pointing this out not to rile up animal lovers…but to emphasize how much God favors us.

And what if I told you that not only did he create us in his image, he also embedded in us the feelings, instincts, and a sense of right and wrong? How many times have you heard this?: “I’m not a Christian. I’m not a believer, but I’m still a good person. You can be a moral person without being a Christian!”

If God is so loving and merciful, then why is the path to heaven narrow?

If God is so loving and merciful, then why is the path to heaven narrow?

“The narrowness lies in the fact that you cannot manufacture your own truth. Jesus says anyone who comes onto him will not be turned away. Anyone. You don’t have to pay money. You don’t have to be born into a certain class. You don’t have to be a certain race or gender. Anyone.” – this was Ravi Zacharias’s answer.

The path certainly doesn’t seem narrow to me. I encourage everyone to watch his Question and Answer segment here. He answers questions like, the aforementioned. As well as ones such as “Why are Christians against racism, but discriminate against homosexuals?” or “Why is the Old Testament God so vengeful, but the New Testament God so loving?” The answer to that last question I loved so much. Because it’s exactly what I thought. Imagine it. You part the Red Sea. You deliver Manna everyday and twice before Sabbath, you demonstrate so many miracles and still they disregard your instructions.
