You warned them to obey your teachings , but in pride they rejected your laws , although keeping your law is the way to life. ObstiAnate and stubborn , they refused to obey. neh 9 :29.
The text above is talking about keeping God's law , commandments and instructions neither through GOD himself to you or through a prophet or a servant of God to you. The ten commandments is not the only law of God to keep but also every instructions giving to you by God or through his servant .
The scripture above says keeping his law is the way of life....meaning keeping God 's law, command and instruction gives meaningful life , gives a fulfillment life , a promising life, a worthy life ! but due to our stubbornness and trust in human capacity we fail just like our ancestors who were filled with so much pride . when God instructs we obey not obeying God instructions can cost us our life.
King saul , the first king of Israel lost it all because of not obeying Samuel the prophet whom God used to speak to his people, so many like that in the bible and in our present days too. The bible says in 2thes 5 :19-22, that you should not restrain the holy spirit; do not despise inspired messages . Put all things to test : keep what is good and avoid every kind of evil. what this verse is saying is that you should not say no to what the holy spirit says to you and do not turn deaf ear to the word of the servant of GOD to you but should test all , both the holy spirit and the message of the prophets or servant of GOD if really they are from GOD. This is a typical example of this , the story of the prophet God sent to warn Jeroboam in bethel and the old prophet that intercepted him on his way home , the prophet from Judah did not test the message of the old prophet of bethel and also disobeyed GOD instructions to him and that caused him his life.1king 13: 1-31. Same happens to us all everyday of our life, it may not necessary be a prophet or a servant of GOD , God himself can speak to you and can send anyone to do same , our own is to test and obey . May we be filled with the spirit of discernment in Jesus name ....Amen ! so as not to fall to evil and disobey God's instructions .
