“He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is careless of conduct will die.” (Proverbs 19:16)
A careless man only worries about following the rules after the consequences come calling. We should not be surprised when we are thoughtless with our choices, our outcomes look like somebody wasn’t thinking things through.
God’s rules are there for a reason. His commandments are a safeguard against stupid – specifically ours. Follow His rules, and you can count on success. Be a sloppy servant, and the results will speak for themselves.
Expect excellence from your Christianity.
