The Benefits of Living by God's Laws

Many people live under the assumption that Christians do not need to follow the archaic laws of the Old Testament in order to please God. All one needs to do is simply love God and profess His name in order to be considered approved, they say. The Bible, however, gives a different account of what is required to be approved, as well as the meaning of this approval. God's law defines a set of liberating rules meant to guide and protect us. Let's look at ten benefits we receive as a result of living according to God's law of love.
