What is the significance of God's commandments?

According to Psalm 119, particularly in verses 138 and 144, God's commandments are described as righteous and faithful, illustrating their importance in the lives of believers. They are not mere suggestions but commands that reflect God's character and expectations for how His people should live. In the Reformed view, obeying God's commandments results in a life that honors Him and evidences true faith. The psalmist finds delight in God's law, showcasing the believer's love for God's standards and their role in spiritual growth and understanding.
