17 Biblical Principles of Success

If you’re a Christian like me, you want to succeed. In business, in life, in all you do.

But you want to do it without compromising what you believe.

You want to live, work, and play according to the Bible, but you just don’t hear much in church on Sunday about how to connect Biblical principles to success in a secular workplace and all of life.

How do you put all the pieces together without either going to seminary or walking away from the career or business you love?

I understand how you feel.

Regular readers know I wrestled with that tension myself for many years before discovering that I didn’t have to choose between the two—I could follow Biblical principles and succeed at work.

Believers shouldn’t have to choose between God and success in any area of life becasue God is the one who designed us to succeed.

I am excited to offer you a new resource created to help you succeed in living a life that is both biblical and meaningful.

The Wisdom You Need for Today

Each guide offers wisdom in one of 17 different areas to give you holistic help in life:

1. Trust in God. – Whether it’s Proverbs 3:5-6, Isaiah 40:31, Romans 8:28 or your favorite scripture or life verse, trusting in God is at the heart of our relationship with God, trusting Him completely through the challenges and storms of life.
2. Humility. – Jesus exemplified humility in all He did. We are living in a world where the quality of humility seems like something that will get you further behind, even trampled underfoot, instead of ahead. In Scripture we see humility as a quality that is very near and dear to the Heart of God.
3. Confess and Repentance. – How do these qualities of confess and repent resemble a life that bears much fruit? Through the power of the Holy Spirit and the precious blood of Christ, confession and repentance becomes powerful weapons in our arsenal to truly feel the joy of Christ. We disarm the enemy through honest appraisal of ourselves.
4. Integrity. – Integrity is something that must be at your core, residing in your heart. In our broken, sinful, and dying world, men and women of Christ must be models of integrity and face life with the biblical tools Jesus imparted to us.
5. Courage. – We see examples everyday all around us of great levels of courage. There are physical and philosophical examples of courage that inspire us every day. But what of the courage to stand up for one’s convictions in a sinful and dying world? When our faith and character is challenged, where do we stand? And for Whom do we stand?
6. Fellowship. – The Christian life was never meant to be done alone. Physically, mentally and spiritually we were created to be with others. The importance of Biblical fellowship is literally lifesaving.
7. Kindness. – Our kindness will very often have a rippling effect on others we may not ever meet this side of heaven. But our rewards will come. As Christ’s hands and feet here on this Earth, what an opportunity we have to be kind and demonstrate His love for the world to see.
8. Goodness – When we look at the world around us, we oftentimes may not see a lot of goodness. But it is there. Acts of goodness are practiced all around us, every day. When we look at goodness from the perspective of God’s Word, we are often challenged to take this concept to an even higher level.
9. Thankfulness – Gratitude and thankfulness are attitudes that will carry you through life’s storms and enhance the joy and success you celebrate. We have so much to be grateful for and our prayer is that this program will bring to life the attitude of gratitude.
10. Joy – The true source of all joy is available 24/7 to us. Don’t settle for anything second hand. Go to the source, the authentic heart of Jesus. There is where we will surely find joy. Many people look everywhere else for joy except this most special place.
11. Self-Control – How many times in life do we say or do something we regret and wish we could take back. By reaching deep into God’s Word, relying on the power of the Holy Spirit and realizing we can do everything in His strength, we can live a life were self-control is exemplified.
12. Wisdom – James 1:5 tells us that, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” It’s comforting to know that we have a Lord and Savior that will help us make good decisions.
13. Faithfulness – Faithfulness is a principle that will reap rewards in every area of your life. Be it business where you must be faithful to your goals, priorities and planning or in your personal life where you need to be faithful in your relationships. The servant of Christ is faithful in all areas of their life.
14. Prayer and Meditation – The heart of God the Father is to have a relationship with you. After all, He sent His only Son to give His life for you. (John 3:16). That is the extent to which He pursues you. The best way we can pursue God is through prayer. We can meditate on His Word to sew it into our hearts to live a life of victory He has promised.
15. Perseverance – In life, you will have challenges. Be it health, financial, marital, career or business, or maybe even a faith crisis, the storms of life are inevitable. But, there is good news! God’s Word has an overflow of examples of people who have emerged victorious through trials.
16. Giving – 2 Corinthians 9:7 tells us, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for the Lord loves a cheerful giver.” What exactly is a ‘cheerful giver’? A life of service is one that will richly be rewarded.
17. Love – “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (1 Corinthians 13: 1-7) By Christ’s devotion to us, we are shown what it means to truly go to any length to love.
