Why is understanding God's precepts important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding God’s precepts helps Christians live according to His will and fosters spiritual growth.

The psalmist asks for understanding of God’s precepts in Psalm 119:27, illustrating the necessity of divine wisdom for living a godly life. In Reformed theology, this understanding is seen as a work of the Holy Spirit, who leads us into truth (John 16:13). Without such understanding, believers may struggle to apply God’s Word to their lives effectively. Knowing God’s precepts transforms our thoughts and behaviors, allowing us to reflect Christ’s character in our daily interactions.
