IT IS NOT THE GOSPEL OF JESUS, IF IT EXCLUDES THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
From the very beginning of Scripture, the gospel and the law of God have been inseparably linked. The story of human redemption begins not merely with the fall of man, but with disobedience to God’s command. Adam and Eve’s sin was not simply eating the forbidden fruit, it was transgressing the divine Commandment (Genesis 2:16–17; 3:11).
[Genesis 2:16-17]
[16] And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
[17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
[Genesis 3:11 ] And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
The fall came because man chose to disobey, and the gospel was introduced because God desired to save humanity from the consequences of disobedience. Therefore, the foundation of the gospel is not lawlessness, but the restoration of obedience through divine grace.
Paul wrote, “By the law is the knowledge of sin” (Romans 3:20). Without the law, there could be no transgression, and without transgression, there would be no need for a Savior. Thus, the very existence of the gospel testifies that God’s Commandments still stand. The “good news” is not that the law has been abolished, but that sinners who broke the law can be forgiven and transformed through the merits of Christ.
When God promised redemption in Genesis 3:15, the first gospel proclamation, He was offering a way to reconcile fallen man to His law. Through Christ, the seed of the woman, humanity would once again be brought into harmony with divine righteousness. The gospel, therefore, is God’s solution to the problem of lawbreaking, not a replacement for the law itself.
Christ’s life and teachings were the fullest revelation of God’s law in human form. He declared plainly, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill” (Matthew 5:17). To “fulfill” means to live it out perfectly, to magnify it and make it honorable (Isaiah 42:21). He showed through His example that the law is not a burden but a reflection of divine love.
When asked about eternal life, Jesus consistently pointed to obedience: “If you would enter into life, keep the Commandments ” (Matthew 19:17). His gospel message was not “believe and ignore,” but “believe and obey.” The Sermon on the Mount reinforced the spiritual depth of the Commandments showing that anger is murder in the heart and lust is adultery in thought. Christ deepened the moral law, revealing that it governs not only actions but motives.
Even after His resurrection, the apostles taught that genuine faith produces obedience. John wrote, “Hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments” (1 John 2:3). Paul, often misquoted by false teachers, affirmed the same principle: “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law” (Romans 3:31).
Today, many professed Christians embrace a gospel stripped of its moral foundation. They claim that “we are under grace” and therefore no longer obligated to keep God’s Commandments. Yet this is precisely the deception the Bible warns against. The apostle Paul foretold of a time when the “man of sin” or “lawless one” would arise, opposing God’s law and deceiving the world (2 Thessalonians 2:3–10). This “lawless one” represents a power that exalts human authority above divine law and changes the Commandments of God (Daniel 7:25).
Sunday worship, promoted as the new Christian Sabbath, is one of the fruits of this deception and Commandments change. It is a man-made institution substituted for the divine Commandment that enjoins the seventh-day Sabbath as a sign between God and His people (Exodus 20:8–11; Ezekiel 20:20). By claiming the authority to change God’s law, religious powers have fulfilled the prophecy of lawlessness and have led millions into a counterfeit gospel that divorces faith from obedience.
This gospel of convenience, one that promises salvation without true repentance, grace without obedience, and faith without law, is the very essence of the “mystery of iniquity.” It appeals to the carnal heart because it removes the cross of self-denial and the discipline of obedience. It is popular because it is easy. But Jesus warned, “Wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat” (Matthew 7:13). Truth, by contrast, has never been the majority’s choice. Majority today observe Sunday and not the Seventh-day Sabbath.
The end-time message of Scripture reveals that the true followers of Christ are those who remain faithful to both His Law and His Gospel. “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the Commandments of God and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12). This verse perfectly unites the two pillars of salvation, faith in Christ and obedience to His Commandments.
Far from being opposed, faith and obedience are inseparable. Grace does not free us to sin, it frees us from sin. As Paul wrote, “Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid!” (Romans 6:1–2). The same grace that pardons our past disobedience empowers us to live in harmony with God’s law (Titus 2:11–14).
The final controversy of earth’s history will center on loyalty, obedience to God’s Commandments or allegiance to human authority. Revelation describes a faithful remnant against whom the dragon makes war, because they “keep the Commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:17). These are the true gospel believers, who understand that Christ came not to do away with the law but to write it in their hearts (Hebrews 8:10).
Conclusion
It is not the gospel of Jesus if it excludes the commandments of God. Any message that separates grace from obedience, faith from law, or Christ from His Commandments is not the gospel of heaven but the deception of the lawless one. The true gospel uplifts both the mercy and justice of God, pardoning the sinner while restoring him to obedience.
The final blessing is reserved for those who remain loyal to the divine standard:
“Blessed are they that do His Commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city” (Revelation 22:14).
Let every believer, then, reject the popular but powerless gospel of lawlessness and embrace the everlasting gospel of obedience and faith, the only gospel that saves.
