“Who has come to know the mind of Jehovah, so that he may instruct him?” But we do have the mind of Christ.—1 Cor. 2:16.

 

Where are Jesus’ teachings recorded? The four Gospels record many of the things Jesus said and did on earth. The rest of the Christian Greek Scriptures—written by men who were inspired by holy spirit and who had “the mind of Christ”—further help us to understand Jesus’ thinking on matters. Jesus’ teachings cover all aspects of life. So the “law of the Christ” governs what we do at home, at work or at school, and in the congregation. (Gal. 6:2) We learn this law by reading the Christian Greek Scriptures and meditating on them. We obey this law by bringing our lives into harmony with the instructions, commands, and principles found in that inspired record. When we obey the law of the Christ, we are obeying our loving God, Jehovah, who is the Source of all that Jesus taught.—John 8:28. w19.05 3 ¶6-7

The law of Christ is written for us to follow Christ' wise example. It is practical in every aspect of our life because when we follow Jesus Christ, we follow Jehovah.

Jesus could have chosen to seek his own interest, but he chose to be obedient to his heavenly father Jehovah. The lesson for us is when we obey the law of Christ we are obeying Jehovah which will bring us rich blessings.
