Fear God and keep His commandments…

Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name...Psalms 86:11. The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction...Proverbs 1:7. The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding...Proverbs 9:10. The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the perverse mouth, do I hate...Proverbs 8:13. The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring forever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether...Psalms 19:9. The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do his commandments: His praise endures forever...Psalms 111:10. The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death...Proverbs 14:27.


Do you fear the Creator and His punishment of evil doers…yes or no? I do. God judges the wicked and the righteous and rewards them according to their deeds. Do you do evil…do you lie…steal…covet…commit adultery…honor your parents…murder…use God’s name in something other than prayer and teaching…do you keep yourself Holy so you do not have to shed innocent blood and are able to worship God…do you commit idolatry…yes or no? One day God will punish the evil doers and their end will be sudden and certain. Forsake evil and turn to God in fear and begin to keep His commandments before it is too late to escape His Punishment. One lie or evil deed results in the punishment of death eternal depart from evil now or as Jesus said repent or perish (Luke 13:3).


Prayer

Jehovah please grant us repentance and meet our soul’s deepest need for living in your fear so we can escape punishment…We believe in your only Son and have been washed in His blood…please restore the joy of salvation in our lives…and please cover us in grace mercy peace joy and love and grant wisdom and understanding be given to us who fear you…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Jesus is the light of life…have you asked Him to light you up?

Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst...John 6:35. but whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life...John 4:14. for the truth's sake which abides in us, and it shall be with us forever...2 John 1:2.


Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed Him, If ye abide in my word, then are you truly my disciples; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free...John 8:31-32. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light...Matthew 11:28-30. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by Me...John 14:6.


Jesus will be your supply of the truth…the bread of life…living bread and of living water that flows freely from Him. This sound like good news…yes or no? Or do you want to walk in the world of lies and darkness…yes or no? Jesus will fill your cup with all the truth you can handle all you have to do is practice the truth…will you practice the truth…yes or no?


Prayer

Father please fill our cups with the truth and feed us the bread of life until we are like Jesus and please meet our soul’s deepest needs…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Everyone says Jesus loves me…but how do you love Jesus…

Listen to what is written Jesus said… If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments...John 14:15.

 

So if we want to return the love Jesus has for us then what are His commandments…

As it is written… Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? And He (Jesus) said unto him, You shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, You shalt love thy neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments the whole law hangs, and the prophets...Matthew 22:36-40.

 

Jesus taught us many great things but the one thing you want to get right is to love God by obeying His commandments…with all of your heart, mind, and strength. When a Jewish ruler asked Jesus how to inherit eternal life Jesus asked if he kept the ten commandments…As it is written…

And behold, one came to him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why asks thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou would enter into life, keep the commandments...Matthew 19:16-17.

…He saith unto him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I observed: what lack I yet...Matthew 19:18-20?

 

When asked Jesus said we could worship God any day of the week not just on Saturday (Sabbath) by the woman at the well…the commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy was so you would not have to offer a sin sacrifice by breaking one of the other nine commandments. After the cross we now go to church on Sunday the first day of the week by a commandment…and still must keep ourselves Holy by keeping the other nine commandments… But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth...John 4:23-24.

As it is written… Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come...1 Corinthians 16:1-2. If you keep the Ten Commandments by loving God with all of heart, mind, and strength then you are walking in Spirit and Truth and able to worship God not only on the Sabbath day every day, if you have sinned then you must repent and seek reconciliation then walk in Spirit and Truth again, but Christian congregations were told to meet on Sunday after the cross.

 

Prayer

Please help us have the morality of the Ten Commandments and help us walk in Spirit and Truth so we may worship you and be accepted…please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our sinful pasts…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
