       To please God, or rather be pleasing to God, we as Christians need to have guidelines and rules to live life by. The Bible, in its entirety, is sufficient in giving us these rules and guidelines to follow. In the church age of today, the New Testament is particularly resourceful in laying out how the Christian should live and walk about in his or her life. Jesus, in his teachings, said that the teaches he presents do not abolish the Old Testament law, but rather indeed fulfill the Old Testament law. And Jesus laid out all kinds of guidelines in different areas of life throughout his earthly ministry. The Apostle Paul would get even more specific in regard to the behavior of the church and the Christians in particular. Throughout all of his books, there are very specific instructions for how to live. Issues like relating with other people, family, marriage, divorce, parenting, and other areas of life are discussed. Both Paul and the Apostle John, especially, note that the Christian's love is vitally important in his and her relationships with others, for instance. See 1 Corinthians chapter 13 and John's epistles for more on this.
