Biblical Teaching on Command/Commandment

Obeying God's commandments is the basic attitude and behavior of God's people. If not, God will discipline them. On the other hand, ungodly people will disobey God's commandments and punishment will fall on them. In any event, the ones who break the law of God can't escape from His wrath freely.
