We cannot be sure that our moral choices will turn out well if we base them only on how we are other people feel. The Bible reveals why, but it also does more. It contains reliable moral guidance- the key to enjoying a happy and fulfilling life.
GUIDANCE WE NEED
In the Bible, Jehovah God explains that he intended for humans to look to him for guidance, not to guide, or direct themselves. (Jeremiah 10:23) That is why he has provided the moral guidelines found in the Bible. He loves the human family and wants to spare us from experiencing the harmful consequences and frustration of making important life decisions based on trial and error. (Deuteronomy 5:29; 1 John 4:8) More than that, as our Creator, he has the wisdom and knowledge needed to give us the best possible moral advice. (Psalm 100:3; 104:24) Yet, God never forces people to live by his standards.
