The Ten Commandments

For the final thought of this volume, I want to express again the importance of keeping the Ten Commandments. All through this study we have learned that it was Jesus who gave it. It was Jesus who wrote it with His own finger. It was Jesus who came and lived it, showing that we can keep it in His power. It was Jesus who stated that if we love Him, we will obey His Ten Commandments.

We have studied that sin is the breaking of the Ten Commandments. No sinner will go to heaven. Only those sinners who have put off sin by the power of Christ and are living His righteous, Ten Commandment-keeping life will enter heaven.

We have learned that it is the devil's most important work to get you to sin. If he can get you to break just one of the Ten Commandments, you are lost. That is why he has worked so hard to get the worldly churches to accept his 1st day Sunday as Sabbath.

"If anyone turns a deaf ear to the law, even his prayers are detestable."  Proverbs 28:9

 

Remember Malachi 4:4  

of the Old Testament? Notice, this is the last command in the last book of the Old Testament. It is a command to "Remember" the Ten Commandments as we go into the New Testament.

The following texts will take you through the Bible in an effort to show the importance of keeping God’s Ten Commandments. God bless you in your continued study of God’s word.

One of the problems with the worldly churches is that they are always looking forward to a time in the future when they will attain perfection. Like this:

 

But Biblically, that is the wrong concept. Jesus taught that we can attain perfection now, through His indwelling Power. Therefore, it would look like this:

What does "Perfect" mean?  Don't let anyone lie to you.  This is the Strong's Concordance definition of "Perfect".  "Without blemish, perfect, upright, without spot, uprightly, whole, sincerely, complete, full, entire, sound, entirely in accord with truth and fact, wanting nothing necessary to completeness, mature."
