How do we know the precept is true?

The authenticity of the precept is validated through the entirety of God's revelation in Scripture, where it consistently intersects with the doctrines of grace. Believers experience the truth of the precept through the working of the Holy Spirit, who enables them to obey these commands not from a place of striving but through the finished work of Christ. When believers view the precept through the correct spiritual lens, they begin to understand its beauty and necessity as part of God's plan for their sanctification. Thus, it validates not only the call to obedience but reinforces the assurance of their identity in Christ.
