"I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them." John 13:15-17 (NIV)
According to The Holy Spirit inspired word recorded by the Apostle John, the disciple who referred to himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved, Jesus said to His disciples that the man who has been shown and taught the right way, and then does right and follows the right way, will be blessed.
When we know that which is right, we should do that which is right. As the saying goes, "when we know better, we should do better." We are encouraged to not just be hearers of The Word of God, but also to be doers of The Word. (James 1:22) The Lord God will show His wrath to those who hear The Word of God, and then do not obey it. (2 Thessalonians 1:8) Christ lived His human life on earth as an example to us, and we need to follow His example. If we live a Christ-like life, we will be blessed.
