Listen to the preaching of the word like your life depends on it

because it does.

Ive chosen a new year's resolution. read my bible, listen to what it says, trust and obey. easy enough right?

And thanks Mr Watson, for this:

determine to PRACTICE whatever you read. Christians should be walking Bibles, living the truths written. the Word is not only a guide to knowledge, but a guide to obedience. a holy reading of God’s Word results in our fleeing from sins and practicing the duties commanded.  
 — Thomas Watson (c. 1620—1686)

In summary, obedience is a great way of commenting on the bible.
