God's commandments are needed for life and are from a good God who has good intentions for us. Know them so that you are ready to apply them. God's commandments are doctrine for life. Proverbs 4:2 NKJV says, "For I give you good doctrine: do not forsake my law." Do not be lazy spiritually, act and work on your spiritual life. Put in the effort to make your spiritual life successful. We need what the creator has given us for life. Proverbs 4:26-27 NKJV says, "Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or the left; remove your foot from evil." Think and do what is "right and good."
