"By studying or meditating on the law of God , we attend the school of righteousness. - we learn what pleases God and what offends Him. The moral law that God reveals in Scripture is always binding upon us . Our redemption is from the curse of God's law , NOT from our duty to obey it. We are justified, not because of our obedience to the law, but in order that we may become obedient to God's law. To love Christ is to keep His commandments. To love God is to obey His law."

"It's probably safe to say, that the majority of the christians today are resigned to falling short of the moral law. In fact they are quite satisfied that God doesn't even expect them to obey in the flesh or the spirit.

"I must be frank in my feeling that a notable heresy has come into being throughout our evangelical Christian circles -- the widely accepted concept that we humans can choose to accept Christ only because we need Him as Saviour and that we have the right to postpone our obedience to Him as Lord as long as we want to... The truth is that salvation apart from obedience is unknown in the sacred scripture... Apart from obedience, there can be no salvation, for salvation without obedience is a self-contradictory impossibility."

God's commands are designed to guide you to life's very best. You will not obey Him, if you do not believe Him and trust Him. You cannot believe Him if you do not love Him. You cannot love Him unless you know Him.

"When a Christian ignores the commandment of Christ, he is guilty of sin doubly compounded. He violates holy vows, is guilty of rebellion against God and commits the grotesque sin of calling Jesus Lord with his words and denying His Lordship with his deeds."

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1 John 2:4)
"We must keep our Lord's command if we would bask in His love. If we live in sin we cannot live in the love of Christ. Without the holiness which pleases God we cannot please Jesus. He who cares nothing for holiness knows nothing of the love of Jesus."
- Charles Spurgeon
