Please, share this study with your family, friends co-workers, and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.
If man had kept the law of God, as given to Adam after his fall, preserved by Noah, and observed by Abraham, there would have been no necessity for the ordinance of circumcision. And if the descendants of Abraham had kept the covenant, of which circumcision was a sign, they would never have been seduced into idolatry, nor would it have been necessary for them to suffer a life of bondage in Egypt; they would have kept God’s law in mind, and there would have been no necessity for it to be proclaimed from Sinai or engraved upon the tables of stone. And had the people practiced the principles of the Ten Commandments, there would have been no need of the additional directions given to Moses.
The ceremonial law was thus given to Moses, and by him written in a book. But the law of Ten Commandments spoken from Sinai had been written by God Himself on the tables of stone, and was sacredly preserved in the ark.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 ...'Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: FEAR GOD, and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.'
PSALMS 103: 20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
keeping of the commandments of God' was not just for the Jews, but for MANKIND And Angles in heaven. In Revelation 14 that the 'everlasting gospel', which includes the 'keeping of the commandments of God' is not just for the Jews, but for EVERY NATION, KINDRED, TONGUE AND PEOPLE, This has been God's message since day one in this world, and it has never changed. It is these commandments of God that Jesus said ... "till heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law." (Matthew 5:18). Has heaven and earth passed away yet? Then what does that mean for God's commandments, those great ten moral precepts for all mankind.It means not one jot or tittle has passed from them!
Sin, is disobedience to God’s law (1 JOHN 3:4).
From the very beginning, God has made obedience the grand test of love and loyalty. No one can say that God was unconcerned over the behavior of our first parents. THEIR OUTWARD ACTIONS MIRRORED A DIVIDED HEART. This is also why Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15).
The focus of heaven’s program is to save men from breaking God’s law by instilling an agape love into the hearts of true believers. The very last book of the Bible distills the issue down to that same basic question of obedience. Every soul will receive the seal of God or the mark of the beast. Again the test will be over obedience to the law. The major characteristic of the redeemed, according to the book of Revelation, is that they keep the commandments of God. The condition that God set up for man to remain in Eden becomes the condition for man to return to Paradise. “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12). “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:17). “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).
The bottom line is that God must have a people who can be trusted with eternal life. Have you considered that those who are translated at the coming of Jesus will still retain the power of choice? The Bible assures us that affliction will not rise up the second time( Nahum1:9). There will be no repeat of this 6,000-year carnage of tragedy and death. Not because there will be no choice, but because God will take no one to heaven who would rather sin than not die. The angels will know heaven is secure because of the experience of the saints in this world before they are given immortality. There will be no risk of this recurrent nightmare of sin. This testing experience on planet Earth will take care of that.
