Why is it important to follow God's word over human traditions?

Answered in 1 source

Following God's word shields us from hypocrisy and maintains true worship.

Prioritizing God's word above human traditions is essential for authentic worship and obedience. Jesus admonishes the Pharisees for allowing their traditions to cloud the original commandments of God, emphasizing that worship should stem from a heart of genuine obedience to Scripture (Matthew 15:7-9). The Apostle Paul also warns against the danger of following man-made rules that can lead believers astray from the truth of the Gospel (Colossians 2:20-23). This is a core tenet in Reformed theology, as it ensures that worship is not done for mere observance but springs from a heart transformed by the grace of God, aligning with His authoritative Word.
