Learning then living

I like this quote "live and learn are for those in the world". Christians should learn from God's word and mature believers how to live according to God's standard. Most people tell me how can a person learn if not by living it out. Its like a person jumping into a swamp with signs warning of alligators and only after being maimed by the animal keeping away. How many people have been injured by different sins by hatred, by disobedience, by wanting what is not yours, by lust for another person.  I am maimed and that made me realize God gave these admonitions to prevent guilt and shame. Its like Genesis 2:25  And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. If we take heed to the warnings of the bible we will not fear anyone's gaze but also our righteousness is from God.
