And if you will stop and ask yourself, why you are not as pious as the primitive Christians were, your own heart will tell you, that it is neither through ignorance, nor inability, but purely because you never thoroughly intended it.

William Law 1686-1761; English Clergy

• First, you have to make it the desire of your heart to live for God.
• Second, you have to know his word to know how to live right.

There are at least a hundred commandments in the Bible telling us how we are to live, all are practical and doable.

Romans 12:21 KJV Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 13:13-14 KJV Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. ¹⁴But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

You only really have to obey two commandments to live a perfect life: Love God with all you mind, body, and soul, and love others as yourself. Do these and you will have lived according to the Bible.

Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. ³⁸This is the first and great commandment. ³⁹And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ⁴⁰On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Easy peasy.
