Living by GOD’S COMMANDMENTS.

-

Many people incorrectly believe that being under grace means that we are not to abide by God’s commandments. When a young lawyer came to Jesus and asked him a question, tempting him, saying:

“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 22:36-40).

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).

Jesus told his disciples saying: “If ye love me, keep my commandments. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him” (John 14:15, 21).

The Apostle Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles further explained about God’s 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).

“For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office” (Romans 11:13).

This heaven and earth will pass away!

Jesus is not coming to reign on this earth because at the end of the Day of Judgment, this earth will become uninhabitable (Isaiah 24:19) (Revelation 16:17–18). This heaven and earth is not a space of everlasting habitations.   This heaven and earth will pass away (Jeremiah 4:23) (Revelation 21:1). God “hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation” (Acts 17:26). Jesus is very clear when he says: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35). “The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. But God is the judge: [HE PUTTETH DOWN ONE, AND SETTETH UP ANOTHER]” (Psalms 46:6, 75:3, 7). Peter confirmed this when he said: “Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and ...

The rise of the Antichrist is coming! The day is soon coming when a king will rise to power ruling from Jerusalem, and he will deceive the whole world! DO NOT BE DECEIVED! JESUS, the true Messiah, the Savior of the world already came to this EARTH (John 3:16-18)! “The disciple John said” And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world” (1 John 4:14). There is only ONE KING of the JEWS: JESUS, the only begotten Son of God (Matthew 2:2). During the trial before his crucifixion, Pilate wanted to know more about Jesus. “And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, ‘Art thou the King of the Jews?’ And Jesus said unto him, ‘Thou sayest’” (Matthew 27:11). Again, Pilate specifically asked him, “Art thou the King of the Jews?” (John 18:33). “Jesus answered, ‘[MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD]: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jew...

“[THE WAY OF LIFE IS ABOVE TO THE WISE], that he may depart from hell beneath” (Proverbs 15:24).  “[FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD]” (Colossians 3:2–3). “[FOR AS THE FATHER HATH LIFE IN HIMSELF; SO HATH HE GIVEN TO THE SON TO HAVE LIFE IN HIMSELF]; And hath [GIVEN HIM AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE JUDGMENT] also, because he is the Son of man” (John 5:26-27). “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]. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED]: but [HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY], because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18). “[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8) says: “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have [ETERNAL LIFE]: and they are they whi...
