<h1><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times; color: #0000ff;">Ten Commandments in the New Testament</span></h1>
|
|
<p style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;"><strong>Paulinism teaches that God's Ten Commandments were abolished - nailed to the cross with Jesus Christ and that they are no longer required to be kept under the New Covenant. Is this what Jesus and His 12 Apostles taught? Did they continue to teach and observe the commandments?</strong> <strong>What does the Bible say?</strong></p>
|
|
<p style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;"> In Matthew 5:17, Jesus declared, "<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Think NOT</span></strong> that I am come to destroy the Law . . ." </p>
|
|
<p style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;">So WHY is it that this is what people think? Jesus clearly said DO NOT EVEN THINK THIS, yet ministers and Bible "scholars" alike go ahead and GO AGAINST Jesus' clear teaching by saying that we do not have to keep God's Law. </p>
|
|
<p style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;"> The apostle John taught throughout his writings that the law is still to be observed by God's people. You could read in John 5:14 & 8:11 where Jesus told people to "sin no more". WHAT IS SIN? I Jn 3:4 states, " . . . <em><strong>sin is the transgression of the law</strong></em>". SIN IS THE BREAKING OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS! Jesus said <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> to break them anymore!! John said that we don't even know Jesus IF WE DON"T keep the commandments (I Jn 2:3-6). He continued to show that we are to keep the commandments in the book of Revelation. Rev 12:17 says, "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which<em><strong> keep the commandments of God</strong></em>, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Now read Rev 14:12, "Here is the patience of the saints: here <em>are </em>they that<em><strong> keep the commandments of God</strong></em>, and the faith of Jesus." Rev 22:14 states: "Blessed <em>are</em> they that <em><strong>do His commandments</strong></em> . . . "</p>

We'll list each of the commandments as they appear in Exodus 20 first, followed by their New Testament counterparts.</p>

<p style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;" align="Left"> In Matthew 22:37-40, it states" "Jesus said . . . , 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." (See also Luke 10:25-28). False teachers use these scriptures to say that the Ten Commandments are no longer required to be kept - that the only commandments are to love God and fellow man. Jesus clearly stated that "all the law" <em><strong>HANGS</strong></em> from these two commandments, meaning they are<strong><em> a source</em></strong> of all of His law. If you keep the Ten Commandments, you <span style="text-decoration: underline;">are</span> keeping the Two Great Commandments.</p>
|
|
<p style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;" align="Left"> The Two Great Commandments summarize the Ten Commandments. The first five commandments deal with the "LORD thy God" and the second five with "thou" and "thy neighbour" - "For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery (7th), Thou shalt not kill (6th), Thou shalt not steal (8th), Thou shalt not bear false witness (9th), Thou shalt not covet (10th).</p>
|
|
<p style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;" align="Left"> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">If we love God</span> with all our heart, and mind, and being, we certainly would not want to place other gods before Him (ANYTHING we put before Him, becomes our god). We would not worship idols (this would break the first commandment also). Nor would we vainly use His name. Israel did this by placing His name on their idols and pagan customs they observed (Is 29:13; 42:8; Ezek 20:39), just as modern professing "Christians" place the name of Christ on their idols and pagan customs (man's holidays). Those who love God should observe His Sabbath, for it is the day HE set aside to spend with us to further our loving relationship with Him. It is the sign He gave that shows Him to be the True God - the Creator (Gen 2:3; Ex 20:11; 31:17). And if we really love Him, we would also honor him as our heavenly Father by obeying <span style="text-decoration: underline;">all</span> of His commands. If we would do these things He asks of us, we would show our love for Him.</p>
|
|
<p style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;" align="Left"> And <span style="text-decoration: underline;" data-mce-mark="1">if we love our neighbours</span>, would we be murdering them, breaking marriage vows through adultery, stealing from them, lying to them or spreading lies about them, or coveting anything of theirs (which could lead to all of the previous things listed)? Of course not! The apostle John stated in I Jn 5:2,3, "By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and <em><strong>keep his commandments</strong></em>. For this is the love of God, that <em><strong>we keep his commandments</strong></em>: and his commandments are not grievous."</p>
|
|
<p style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;" align="Left"> The origin of God's law is <strong>LOVE</strong>. He has set the guidelines for love in His commandments. They set the path for us to walk in love for God and fellow man. "He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love." (I Jn4:8). His love is the source of His covenant with us (Jn 3:16). He is seeking those who will love Him in return. As stated above, we show Him love by obeying His voice.</p>
|
|
<p style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;" align="Left"> "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them." (Heb 10:16). Far from abolishing the law, God said He would write His Laws in our hearts and minds. "My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart." (Prov 7:1-3, see also Prov 3:1-3.)</p>
|
|
<p style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;" align="Left"> Man was hardhearted and stiffnecked to God's law: "And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great . . . and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." (Gen 6:5) Even when He set forth His Law at Sinai, He knew man's heart was against Him: "O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!" (Deut 5:29). God had to create in us a new heart and give us His spirit so we could overcome our evil ways and walk in His ways. "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh." (Ezek 36:26; read also Ezek 11:19). With the new heart He puts in us we may say in truth, "I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart." (Ps 40:8).</p>
|
|
<p style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;" align="Left"> The Law was codified by God in tablets of stone on the day of Pentecost (Ex 19) at Mt Sinai. The spirit of God was sent on Pentecost (Acts 2). And with the gift of the holy spirit, we can overcome sin (lawbreaking) and walk in His law. </p>
|
|
<p style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;" align="Left"> As we have clearly seen, the Ten Commandments were kept by Christ, His 12 apostles, His disciples, their disciples - both Jew and Gentile, and that they are to be kept by Christians TODAY. We all must be overcoming our sinful (lawless) ways (Rev 2:7,11,17,26; 3:5,12,21; 21:7). REPENT, turn to God & keep His commandments that He may heal you and you may have eternal life in His Kingdom.</p>
