Psalm 128:1 Blessed is he who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways.

Fearing the Lord is walking in His ways. It is not actually fear but reverence and hope in the blessing of God.

Some would have you believe it is some kind of barbaric and primitive theology. But no, it is reverence and hope in a superior being.

So shouldn’t we walk in His ways as Jesus commanded?

I believe so!

And you?

“Blessed is he who’s way is blameless who walks in the law of the Lord.”

the system of Law is based on this: if one does not fear/respect God why would that one care about the Law?

Yes, as Jesus commanded because as Hebrew 5:7 lets us know Jesus is the one who is able to save from death....
'Walk in his ways' because God requires that we exercise justice, love mercy and walk humbly/modestly with God - Micah 6:8 because the law of God is perfect as found at Psalm 19:7-11.

Are you speaking of;

“You’ve been told O man what the LORD requires of you, only to do what is right, love goodness and walk humbly with your God.”

And;

“The law of the LORD is perfect refreshing the soul.”

It’s from memory. Is that it?

Don't forget, it has to do with seeking a reward for your efforts?

I personally think it is the best way, what is superior?

Walking in the Holy Spirit of agape love because it is what you prefer and desire, not what you expect to be rewarded for or to avoid punishment for violating some law.

Any thoughts about 1st Corinthians 15:19,17_______________
To me, the Bible is saying if there is No reward then your faith is in vain.
What reward did Jesus seek but to put forth his effort to bring Honor to his God by being faithful to death.

The Spirit of agape love is a man made love not the love that comes from God which you do not know but the son will reveal it to those who walk in His ways.
