Our lesson today is on the importance of the word of God. Let me just ask. Which sounds more sinful. One who eats a fruit Or one who murders his brother. Yet when we read in Genesis they receive the same punishment. both loose eternity.
All the Bible tries to teach in these chapters is obedience. When Jehovah says the most foolish thing to our ears all He wants is for us to obey. look at Adam. we live in a disastrous world filled with death& oppression because He only ate a fruit.(Romans 5:12). By only the eating of a fruit sin came into our world.
God has given us the 10 commandment as a moral standard of our lives (Exodus 20). The Bible defines the commandments of God as Love. And by following them this is how we show our love to God (John 14:15) (1 John 2: 3&42) . No commandment is smaller or greater than the other. all are equal and they come as one package (James 2:10&11) . Even our lord Jesus Christ summarised these (Matthew 22:37-40) (Galatians 5:14). By the way these are not a new commandment, they have always been there from the old testament (Deuteronomy 6:5) , ( Leviticus 19:18). 90% of what Jesus said is from the old testament. God does not change and keeping His commandments will always be the character of Love (Romans 13:8-11).
So next time when you say its just a little law I have broken becareful because you dont know the consequences. Adam just ate a fruit. Look at the world today!
In the next lessons we will be going Through all the commandments. Each week we will look at each commandment.
