Burdensome. Impossible. Nebulous. Unfathomable. Those are a few words that come to mind when people think of God's commands. How incomprehensible are these?
"Hate what is evil; cling to what is good."
"Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another."
"Keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord."
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."
"Share with those in need."
"Practice hospitality."
"Live in harmony with one another."
"Be careful to do what is right."
"Live at peace with everyone."
"Overcome evil with good."
These commands are found in Romans chapter 12. These commands are not burdensome. They are not impossible, and they can be easily understood. The commands don't require hours of study; what they require is to be done. They need to be done a lot. Galatians tells us that we must not become weary or give up in keeping these commands and in doing good.
"Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people." Galatians 6:10

I've long thought that the most important sections of the Bible do not require a great deal of study to understand. They do, however, require a great deal of time, commitment, and love.
Good post.
Don't forget God's backpack of provision: ..."seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence (2 Peter 1:3). The Spirit is willing!
