Why should we hide the commandments of Jesus?

  • “My son, if you will receive my words and hide my commandments with you, so that you attend to wisdom, you shall extend your heart to understanding; ” (Proverbs 2.1,2).

We only hide something that can be thieved. But who would steal the commandments of our heart and how?

  • “When anyone hears the Word of the kingdom and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown by the wayside.” (Matthew 13.19)

Ha-Satan comes and catches away the seed of the gospel when the person doesn’t take it in. But so that Jesus’ words sink in our mind, we need sense:

  • “On this account do not prove yourselves wanting in sense, but try to understand what the Lord's will is.” (Ephesians 5.17).

That is to say, the true understanding implies in procuring sense, equilibrium. And what is the equilibrium? Jesus and His love. The law is grim; the love apart from Christ is salacity. Nonetheless, when the law of the Creator is put in practice moved my the power of Jesus’ love, we have, not the sloppiness of the law, but its perfect fulfillment.

Hence the Holy Scripture to say that Jesus is the fulfillment of the law (Matthew 5.17; Romans 10.4) in us:

  • for what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh; so that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” (Romans 8,3,4)

The true knowledge that nail Jesus’ word in our heart is its carrying out by Him working His wonders through us. And it is that will make our heart to grow toward the true wisdom, which is the fear of the Creator:

  • “And to man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom! And to depart from evil is understanding!” (Job 28.28).

So, keep stalwart poring over the Holy Scripture and allowing Jesus hide it in you through the accomplishment of it. Each time that His glory is manifested inside you, His word will become increasingly one with you and will be impossible remove of you the good days brought by it.
