Our Lord Jesus explains doing the COMMANDMENTS OF GOD (Matthew 5:17-18, 18:23, 19:17, 22:34-40) (Revelation 22:13-14).

When our Lord Jesus was here on earth at many points in time the Scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees doubted that he was the Son of God, and often tried to discredit him. Notably a lawyer came to him asking:

‘Master, which is the great commandment in the law?’

Jesus said unto him, ‘[THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND].’


This is the [FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT]. And the second is like unto it, [THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF]. [ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS]” (Matthew 22:34-40).


Our Lord Jesus was very clear when he said: “¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled” (Matthew 5:17-18).


Furthermore, when a young man wanted to know what he must do to inherit eternal life, Jesus answered: “[IF THOU WILT ENTER INTO LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS]” (Matthew 19:17). The young man then wanted to know which commandments.

“Jesus said, ‘[THOU SHALT DO NO MURDER, THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, THOU SHALT NOT STEAL, THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, HONOUR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER: AND, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF]” (Matthew 18-23).

Our Lord Jesus Christ chose Paul, whose name was Saul to be the apostle to the Gentiles (Acts 9:1-15): “For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office” (Romans 11:13), echoed the keeping of these commandments when he said:

“Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: [FOR HE THAT LOVETH ANOTHER HATH FULFILLED THE LAW].

For this, [THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, THOU SHALT NOT KILL, THOU SHALT NOT STEAL, THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, THOU SHALT NOT COVET]; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, [THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF].

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore [LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW]” (Romans 13:8-10).

“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. [BLESSED ARE THEY THAT DO HIS COMMANDMENTS, THAT THEY MAY HAVE RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE, AND MAY ENTER IN THROUGH THE GATES INTO THE CITY]” (Revelation 22:13-14).


“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star” (Revelation 22:16).

“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:20-21).

Whatever is now taking place and will continue to take shape in the coming years in the world, and on whatever road we find ourselves on this earth, let us always be reminded that GOD IS GOOD (Psalm 73:1). “Depart from evil, and [DO GOOD]; and dwell for evermore” (Psalms 37:27). “[AND WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD], to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). “Glory ye in his holy name: let the [HEART] of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD, and his strength: [SEEK HIS FACE EVERMORE]” (Psalm 105:3-4). “Blessed be the LORD for [EVERMORE]. Amen, and Amen” (Psalm 89:52).

The POWER OF GOD and HIS ONLY BEFOTTEN SON (Genesis 1:1-31) (John 1:1-4, 14, 3:16-18): Human beings who die in JESUS CHRIST NEVER SEE DEATH: BELIEVE THIS! (John 8:51, 10:19, 27-30).

  GOD is a LIVING GOD: “[FOR HE IS NOT A GOD OF THE DEAD, BUT OF THE LIVING]: for all live unto him” (Luke 20:38). GOD GAVE HUMANS THE BREATH OF LIFE, BUT THEN CAME DEATH. At the apex of time, Adam and Eve did not BELIEVE the word of GOD: the TRUTH (Genesis 2:16-17, 3:2–3) and instead believed the LIES of the devil, aka Satan (Genesis 3:4), that “crooked serpent” (Job 26:10). As a consequence ALL human beings were CONDEMNED TO DEATH. However, God then sent his only begotten Son Jesus, at the right time, in the fullness of time, to bring and to spread the WORD OF LIFE: “[THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE]” (John 3:15). The Apostle Paul gives a clear understanding when he said: “Therefore as [BY THE OFFENCE OF ONE] judgment came upon all men to [CONDEMNATION]; even so [BY THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF ONE THE FREE GIFT] came upon all men unto justification of life” (Romans 5:18). “[FOR SINCE BY MAN CAME DEATH], by man came also the resurrection of th

Give God the FATHER THANKS for ALL THINGS and for giving his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON (John 3:16-18).

If we know to say “Thank you” to another human being when an act of kindness is done for us, then we MUST GIVE THANKS TO GOD because he CREATED ALL THINGS (Genesis 1:1). “For all the earth is mine” (Exodus 19:5). Furthermore, we must especially GIVE GOD THANKS for the promise of ETERNAL LIFE through JESUS CHRIST. “[THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE]” (John 3:15). “For God so loved the world, that he gave his [ONLY BEGOTTEN SON], that whosoever [BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE]” (John 3:16). “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now [COMMANDETH ALL MEN EVERY WHERE TO REPENT]: Because he hath [APPOINTED A DAY], in the which he will [JUDGE THE WORLD] in [RIGHTEOUSNESS] by that [MAN WHOM HE HATH ORDAINED]; whereof he hath [GIVEN ASSURANCE UNTO ALL MEN], in that he hath [RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD]” (Acts 17:30-31). “[FOR AS THE FATHER RAISETH UP THE DEAD, AND QUICKENETH THEM; EVEN SO THE
