In the book "Seeing the Unseen," Randy Alcorn emphasizes the importance of grounding one's beliefs and lifestyle in the teachings of Scripture. As a biblical Christian, it's vital to not only recognize the divine inspiration of the Bible but also to actively examine all other influences through this lens. This practice helps to prevent one's thoughts and actions from being unconsciously shaped by worldly perspectives, desires, or malevolent influences.
Alcorn argues that by consciously critiquing our beliefs against the standard of God's Word, we can ensure that our lives reflect a true biblical understanding. This effort requires intentionality and dedication to evaluating our preferences, guiding us towards a more faithful and spiritually aligned existence. The call is to remain steadfast in our commitment to Scripture as the foundation of our understanding and everyday choices.
