The Bible provides numerous examples and teachings on the importance of making godly decisions, emphasizing reliance on divine guidance and the consequences of choices. Biblical Examples of Decisions: 1. Adam and Eve (Genesis 3): The first recorded decision in the Bible is that of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Their choice to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, despite God's command, resulted in the fall of man. This decision underscores the significance of obedience to God's word and the far-reaching consequences of disobedience. 2. Joshua (<a href="/joshua/24-15.htm">Joshua 24:15</a>): Joshua, the leader of Israel, presents a powerful example of decision-making when he challenges the Israelites to choose whom they will serve. He declares, "But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." This decision highlights the importance of commitment to God and setting a godly example for one's household. 3. Solomon (<a href="/1_kings/3-9.htm">1 Kings 3:9</a>): Solomon's request for wisdom to govern God's people is a notable decision that pleased the Lord. He asked, "Give Your servant, therefore, an understanding heart to judge Your people and to discern between good and evil." This decision reflects the value of seeking divine wisdom in leadership and personal life. 4. Ruth (<a href="/ruth/1-16.htm">Ruth 1:16</a>): Ruth's decision to stay with her mother-in-law Naomi and adopt her people and God is a testament to loyalty and faith. She says, "Where you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God." Ruth's choice led to her becoming part of the lineage of David and ultimately Jesus Christ. 5. Daniel (<a href="/daniel/1-8.htm">Daniel 1:8</a>): Daniel's decision not to defile himself with the king's food is an example of steadfastness in faith. "But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine." His decision to honor God above cultural pressures resulted in divine favor and wisdom. Teachings on Decision-Making: 1. Seeking God's Guidance (<a href="/proverbs/3-5.htm">Proverbs 3:5-6</a>): The Bible instructs believers to trust in the Lord and seek His guidance in all decisions. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." This passage emphasizes reliance on God's wisdom rather than human understanding. 2. Prayer and Discernment (<a href="/philippians/4-6.htm">Philippians 4:6-7</a>): Prayer is a crucial aspect of decision-making. "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Prayer invites divine peace and clarity in making choices. 3. The Role of the Holy Spirit (<a href="/john/16-13.htm">John 16:13</a>): Jesus promised the guidance of the Holy Spirit in decision-making. "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth." The Holy Spirit aids believers in discerning God's will and making decisions aligned with His purposes. 4. Wisdom and Counsel (<a href="/proverbs/15-22.htm">Proverbs 15:22</a>): The Bible encourages seeking wise counsel in decision-making. "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." Consulting with godly advisors can provide insight and prevent hasty or unwise decisions. 5. Consequences of Decisions (<a href="/galatians/6-7.htm">Galatians 6:7-8</a>): The principle of sowing and reaping highlights the consequences of decisions. "Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return. The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life." This teaching underscores the importance of making decisions that honor God and align with His will. Conclusion: The Bible provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the significance of decisions in the life of a believer. Through examples, teachings, and divine guidance, Scripture emphasizes the importance of making choices that reflect faith, wisdom, and obedience to God.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4561.htm">4561. sarx -- flesh</a> ... 4561 () is generally negative, referring to making decisions (actions) -- ie done (independent from inworking).
