Why is obeying God's commandments essential for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Obedience to God's commandments aligns believers with His will and purpose.

Christ teaches that adherence to God's commandments is non-negotiable for His followers. In Matthew 15, the Pharisees' focus on tradition over divine law demonstrates a grave misunderstanding of true righteousness. Ryle emphasizes that obedience must stem from a genuine heart, reflecting true love for Christ. The neglect of God's commandments in favor of human traditions can lead to spiritual peril. True Christians are called to reverence God's word as absolute, acknowledging it as superior to human invention.
