“Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech. He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.” 1Peter 3:10-11 NIV
We all want to live a good life. Yet, there are many people who do not enjoy and appreciate life. Tracing back the beginning of life, we can see what a good life is supposed to be. Before men were created, God set up the world as a perfect place to live in. The Garden was provided men all that they need; fresh food, clean air water and a peaceful blessed life with the Lord. But everything has changed after sin came into the world. Since then, conflicts, disagreements, envy, pretension, betrayal, back stabbing went on in the life of the many. Life became hard and difficult sin brought death to mankind. The key to a good life on earth is to be with God, to walk with Him, abide and submit ourselves to Him. If we follow Him we shall be happy and enjoy the good life caused by His presence. Though we live in a dangerous and sinful environment, God will protect and provide for us. He will guide and strengthen us, and establishing our steps every day for us to walk in peace and blessedness. To maintain, a good life, let us walk in righteousness. Do not sin before God as in the old days. Pursue peace with God by not sinning, be at peace with everyone by doing good to them and be at peace with yourself and enjoy a good life of holiness.
