Humans were created for more than eat-
ing, drinking, procreating, working, and
dying. Man is a spirit housed in a body
(Genesis 2:7); therefore, he is capable of
living a life beyond a physical level. He
has introspective, prospective, and ret-
rospective abilities. He is made for more.
Notice some characteristics that build a
spiritual life:
1. Read and study the Bible daily. We need
spiritual food just like we need physical
food. “Your word I have hidden in my
heart, that I might not sin against You!”
(Psalm 119:11). Man was not made for
bread alone (Matthew 4:4). The Bible is
God’s guidebook for a meaningful life.
2. Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians
5:17). Prayer is the privilege of God’s child
(Prayer calls upon our Father, Matthew
6:9). It is an often underutilized privi-
ledge. There are blessings for others and
ourselves daily that can only be accessed
by prayer. It takes a spiritually minded
person to pray consistently to a God he
only experiences by faith. Develop an ac-
tive prayer life.
3. Live a life of purity and holiness. Part of
living a spiritual life is denying the lusts
of the flesh (1 John 2:16). We are to be an
example of purity to others (1 Timothy
4:12). We are to keep ourselves pure and
unspotted (Ephesians 5:27).
4. Look for ways to serve others daily. Jesus
came to seek and serve (Matthew 20:28).
Our service will be brought up on the
judgment day (Matthew 25:34–46).
5. Serve without being asked. Jesus taught
His followers to walk the second mile.
That is service that surprises others. It
is doing more than expected. It means
starting early and stopping only when
the job is finished. Do the dirty job or the
hard job. Love the unlovable and serve
the selfish. “To him who knows to do
good and does not do it, to him it is sin”
(James 4:17).
The best life is a spiritual life. The secret
is to live the opposite of the way the world
believes is best. Serve instead of being
served. Love all. Do not insist on your
rights. Choose to give instead of getting.
“As seeing Him who is invisible.”
H EB R E WS 11:27
