What the Bible says about Obedience and Knowledge of God
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Psalm 119:33-34 Perhaps above all others, this psalm makes multiple direct connections between the knowledge of God and obedience. We will grow more profoundly if we learn to study the Bible as if it were written for us individually. It is self-defeating for us to pick and choose favorite scriptures while leaving others entirely alone. Jesus quotes Deuteronomy 8:3, saying we should live by every word of God. All of it reveals Him—and our nature as well. The more we know of Him and ourselves, the greater the chance of obedience. Ignorance begets irreverence that in turn begets disobedience. Truth believed begets reverence that in turn begets obedience. John W.
