Bible Question:
In the book of Revelation 3 different times it discribes the church Jesus is returning for. Rev. 12:17,14:12,22:14 they keep the commadments and the testimony of Jesus Christ. In 1 John 2:3 And by this we know that we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4The one who says I know Him, and does not keep His commandments is a liar,and the truth is not in him. The rich young ruler in Mark 10:17 ask Jesus what he must do to enter the Kingdom of God and Jesus quoted the last six of the Ten Commandments which teach us to love our neighbor as our self. Which commandments is the bible referring to in the NT is my qustion? |
Bible Answer: This is a tough question -- I have always considered what Jesus refers to as the two greatest commandments (love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, mind; love your neighbor as yourself) as those to which our Lord refers. A common response to this is usually something along the lines of "but what about the other 613 laws in the Old Testament, including the Ten Commandments?" Jesus provides us with the answer to such a question in Matthew 22:40 when he says "all of the law hangs on these two commandments." If those two commandments are fulfilled, the natural following of that will be that every single detail of every commandment will be fulfilled; this, however, is impossible, unless we confess the Lordship of Christ and claim His words, life, trial, death, and resurrection to be true. Only then can we allow the two greatest commandments (and thereby all other commandments) to be fulfilled BY Christ THROUGH us. I hope this helps. |
