-This is an important standard for the church and every member.

-If we can carry out the complete truth, we shall indeed receive blessings. Ps 119:1-3 Blessed are those whose way is blameless who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are those who keep his testimonies and who seek him with their whole heart. Also those who walk in his ways.
-To have faith but no good conduct is incomplete faith.
