Why is following God's will important for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

Following God's will is crucial for authentic obedience, which distinguishes true Christians from imposters.

Obedience to God's revealed will is foundational to the Christian faith and essential for assurance of salvation. As depicted in the conversation with Christian, those who bypass God's commands show a disregard for His authority, labeling themselves as thieves. Matthew 7:13-14 illustrates the contrast between the narrow way that leads to life and the broad path of destruction. Embracing God's will not only guides believers along the correct path but also assures them of their standing before the Lord. The Christian's identity is cemented through obedience, as seen in his possession of the coat and the scroll, indicating a relationship with the Lord and the blessings of His grace.
