This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

1 John 1:5-7

The commandments of God are not so simple as to be applied as needed. The practice of Christianity is a life-changing one. The first name for Jesus’ followers was “The Way” because Christian life is a path that must be travelled. It is not one tool among many to solve problems but the road along which the problems may be encountered such that we do not lose sight of the destination.
