What does an appropriate balance between heart, mind, and life look like for the Christian? What role does the law play in the Christian’s life? How should we approach Psalm 119?

They also do no unrighteousness; They walk in His ways. You have ordained Your precepts, That we should keep them diligently (Psalm 119:1-4).
