I honor the word of the Lord for I was taught to by my parents and teachers. I honor the word of the Lord for happy people I knew in community honored it. I honor the word of the Lord for people such as MLK honored it. I honor the word of the Lord for I realize the awful cost paid by many throughout history so that I may have it today.
But in a sense all these reasons are secondary to the fact that I find it encouraging, helpful, and true (that is effective) on a daily personal basis. Its authority is inherent in its practicality within the pursuit of true happiness, meaning and value, and everlasting life.
