The Bible is what I live by. And although many people think it is a book of 'rules', it is actually much more than a rule book. God loves us so much, that as our Father, he wants to send us away from the Evil of this world, and guard us. 

This is why living by the bible is vital if you want a relationship with God. He gives you commandments and Laws to ensure you are happy. When you stop doing things that the bible says are sins, you feel so much better, healthier and positive. The guilt of hurting others isn't a burden to you, you spread positivity and the gospel.

This is exactly why it has helped me: I used to do things I knew was wrong, and even sometimes do things that were wrong, but I was unaware of their consequences. Now I follow the Bible, and life for me hasn't been the same: I am positive, free and happy. I have a relationship with God, and I have been saved by the grace of God. Reading God's word fills a gap in your soul, which is why you feel filled with love as a Christian.
