These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to
teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, so that
you, your children and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live
by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may
enjoy long life. Deuteronomy 6:1-2
To
a certain degree, yes. Following God’s
laws builds a positive relationship with God so he won’t get mad at you and
have to discipline you. It creates a
positive relationship with others, reducing stress and not creating
opportunities for others to take revenge on you. Plus, God’s laws build positive, healthy
habits from cleaning to eating which help you physically.
However,
there’s no guarantee and God fearing people die all the time. Following God’s laws increases your odds of
living a better and longer life.
