Obedience is Better

Growing up, my siblings and I, as well as others in our circle, were taught the importance of obedience. As I'm sure most children are. It didn't matter what our friends at school were doing. Our parents and other adults around us gave us instruction. Even if they weren't within view, it didn't change the rules. God's standard is similar in the sense that we should never risk his wrath in choosing to deliberately disobey his instruction.
