Proverbs 3:1,2
My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands;
for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you.
There is a reason to listen to the words of God.
God has the power of life and of death. Not only does the word of God teach you principles
which will avert many difficulties of life which can affect your health (from STD's to liver
disorders) which are the consequence of sin; it also brings you a peace of mind that is
priceless in this world.
But, this comes only if we will not forget the law of God. Only if we will allow it to guide our
hearts and minds -- guiding our thoughts, our speech and our actions. It must be a heartfelt
obedience. We must love God with all of our heart, all of our mind, and all that in us is. (see
Matthew 22:34-40).
If we are Christians, we are the children of God. As His children, we have the love of God. We
have His protection. We have His care. Let us be good obedient children.
So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build
you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. -- Acts 20:32
