We are sorely tempted to pick and choose which of God’s commandments we will obey and which of His commandments we will discard, But the Bible clearly instructs us to do otherwise.

God’s Word commands us to obey all of His laws, not just the ones that are easy or convenient. When we do, we are blessed by a loving Heavenly Father.

John Calvin had this advice to believers of every generation: “Let us remember therefore this lesson: That to worship our God sincerely we must evermore begin by hearkening to His voice, and by giving ear to what He commands us. For if every person goes after his own way, we shall wander. We may well run, but we shall never be a white nearer to the right way, but rather farther away from it.” Enough said@

“The entirety of Your word is truth, and all Your righteous judgments endure forever.” (Psalm 119: 160 HCSB)
