God’s plan of living
“My people, what have I done to you, And how have I wearied you? Answer Me.”
Micah 6:3 NASB1995

What is God’s plan for living? Is it do not touch, do not taste, do this, or don’t do that? It is you must give me and my house all your money or else? There are rules to follow but that is not the main goal.
“He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?”
Micah 6:8 NASB1995

But living a life for God is doing what is just for your fellow brother. It is loving your brother. And it is walking humbly with God.
Jesus put it this way.
“And He said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 22:37, 39-40 NASB1995

Paul tried to help with:
“If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as, “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!” (which all refer to things destined to perish with use)—in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men?”
Colossians 2:20-22 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.2.21-22.NASB1995
“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.”
Colossians 3:12-14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.12-14.NASB1995
To simplify it love God first. And love people out of the love you have for God.
“We love, because He first loved us. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.”
