In what ways do your Christian beliefs have an impact on your life?

Ola, bonjour, hello! I'm trying to gather responses to this question so as to help (and inspire) me to write an essay.

So how do your Christian beliefs have an impact on your life?

P.S. There's no way to change one's username on this thing, is there?...

For me, my Christian beliefs literally affect how I think and how I behave. I hold a biblical world view, meaning that I filter everything through what the Bible says. I don't know how to elaborate on this. My Christian beliefs dictate my entire life.

elaboration:
-priority of having a relationship with Yahweh and having the fear of The Lord (which is revere Him to the point of following what He says regardless of how I or others may think or feel about a situation) such as John 14:15
-behavioral: how money and time are spent includes Acts 5:29
-thought life: such as Isa 26:3 and Philippians 4:8
-emotions: aim for fruit of The Spirit (Gal 5) and ask Him for more
-interactions with others: Love others as myself (having healthy view of self) such as Matt 22 and I John 5:2
-prayer life (includes using The Lord's Prayer as a guide Matt 6 and Luke 11)
-repent when I fail and receive His forgiveness (Lord's Prayer)
-constantly learning such as no matter what it going on, praise Him.
ETC
This definitely isn't the way it was when I first became a believer in Yeshua nor for years afterward. But these have taken place over years realizing that they are important because He loves me not to try to earn His love.

Well it has the impact on everything i do pretty much.
Trying to seek god's opinion in everything.
"What does god think about this?"
"Should i do this or not?"
Those are the questions i am trying to ask from myself when i do something.
Also it affects to the way i see life, world and what i consider right and what i consider wrong.

My God has declared all believers adopted after faith in Christ Jesus and called all saints and all sons & daughters of God who cry "abba father" in Romans 8:14 & Galatians 4:5,6,7 "And because ye (you all) ARE SONS, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba Father. Wherefore thou art NO MORE a servant, but a SON; and if a SON, then an heir of God through Christ" That is precisely what God has predestinated saints to conform to the Son of God as God's sons & daughters, so that is my sound doctrine that I follow as a son to mature and confirm to God the Son & reign with Him in the heaven.

I'm aware that everything I do, feel, and think is being looked upon and I will be asked to give account for all of it. I try to live a more pure life and be more aware of when I am doing something sinful or displeasing. I try to be kinder to people or if I can't, to at least walk away or remain quiet. I try to swear much less. I try to not be a glutton with food or drink. I try to spend time each day reading the Bible and communicating with God through prayer or silent reflection.

At the core, where once I was selfish and didn't even know or care that I was, now I strive to love others as I love myself, and love God above all.

This manifests itself in me being more outgoing than I am comfortable with, trying to be kind and generous to people, doing what I can to alleviate suffering, giving money to my church and other mission groups. Also, I read the Bible daily, pray, worship God, and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit as often as I can remember to do so.
