When you're saved and in love with God you will look like someone who is keeping the Ten Commandments because the Ten Commandments define godly love. You can't say that you love God yet be worshiping other gods or profaning His name. In the same way, I can't say that I love my wife yet be cheating of her. Love is a neutral force that must be defined and controlled by God. Love can attach itself to ungody things just as easy as it can attach itself to godly things. God defines how He wants our love to be expressed. The Ten Commandments only define love, they don't produce love.
Question Scuba, what beliver in Jesus Christ are worshiping other Gods, and profaning His name? the ten commandments define love hmm... love has nothing to do with keeping sabbath day, let us read Jesus words.
Blue = Rich young Man
Red = Jesus said to him
Green = Paul or John
Matthew 19
The Rich Young Man
16And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
there is none good but one,
that is, God:
but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Messiah Himself taught the young man His commandment starting on verse 18 , Jesus told the young man everything he needed to obtain eternal Life.
Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus taught this.
Galatians 5:18
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Galatians 5:23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Jesus taught the Greatest commandments
Matthew 22:36-40
Master, which
is the great commandment in the law?
37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment.
39And the second
is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
So since this is the Lord teaching , How does one Love the Lord thy God, Here another teaching Jesus Himself taught.
John 16:27
For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
So now onto our neighbour, How exactly do we fullfill , Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Once again Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus taught this.
Romans 13
Love Fulfills the Law
8Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet;and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Thee apostle John taught this
1 John 4:6
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Love Comes from God
7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
Now the Messiah Jesus Christ taught this, these verse were the works , the young rich man rejected.
Matthew 25:35-36
35For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
4Love is patient, love is kind
and is not jealous; love does not brag
and is not arrogant,
5does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong
suffered, 6does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
So the commandment , Jesus Christ commanded where according to Matthew 19:18-21. These are the very same commandment He was speaking upon when he said if you love me keep my commandments John 14:15
Matthew 19:18-21
18 He saith unto him, Which?
Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
Now one can have a better understanding on the rest God promise
Matthew 11:28
28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
God Bless hope this is helpful, there no commandment Jesus taught or the Apostles to uphold the fourth commandment.
