1 | The idea of Ps 111:7,8; Ps 119:89,160 | Ps 111:7 | may-it | 57254 | ||
Does this texts Psalm 111:7,8 and Psalms 119:89, 160 has something to do with God's 10 Commandement Law or just simply His Divine word in general, what does the word "decrees and precept" mean in Ps 111:7 and "word" in Ps 119:89,160. Does these texts spoke of the same thought? | ||||||
2 | The idea of Ps 111:7,8; Ps 119:89,160 | Ps 111:7 | Reformer Joe | 57268 | ||
Well, the Ten Commandments are normally considered a summation of his moral will. The verses you mention here speak of the eternality and immutability of God's will, and that his will should always be obeyed. --Joe! |

3 | follow-up question | Ps 111:7 | may-it | 57536 | ||
Thanks Joe! So, it safe then to say that God's will, His moral will is still binding up to this day. You mentioned the words "should always be obeyed" as to what extent? Are we ought to obey all the ten or just a part of it? |

4 | follow-up question | Ps 111:7 | Reformer Joe | 57568 | ||
You wrote: "So, it safe then to say that God's will, His moral will is still binding up to this day." I would say that it is binding on God's people as a rule of life. We are not justified by following God's moral will (since we have already blown that and Christ already did it perfectly for all those who believe in him), but following God's commandments is a mark of truly having faith in Jesus Christ. Again, we still blow it all too frequently, reminding us that the need of God's grace is a continuous one. "Are we ought to obey all the ten or just a part of it?" Well, that will be a point of disagreement. There are those who think that the Fourth Commandment has been done away with, and others think that it hasn't and we still should observe the Sabbath, whether that be the original Sabbath or the "Christian Sabbath" of Sunday. Most will agree that we still shouldn't steal or commit adultery or worship idols or covet. --Joe! |

5 | follow-up question | Ps 111:7 | may-it | 57692 | ||
Thanks again Joe! While I asked that question to you I've done reading and search and Indeed, I agree that we are not justified by just following His Moral Will, "...having been justified by His Grace..." (Titus 3:7),(Ephesians 2:8-10) grace through faith which leads us to obedience. And going back to Psalm 111:7,8 God's Law stand fast forever and the rest of the following texts gives us the assurance that God's Law is still binding today until He comes. 1.Luke 16:17 2.Matthew 5:17,18 3.Revelation 14:12 The Lord said in John 14:15 "If You Love me you will obey what I command". And again, truly by ourselves its impossible but through His enabling grace we can be empowered to obey His will. |
