Ask yourself this question?

Are you using Christ as an excuse to be Sinners???

Shalom! All praises to Ahayah[God] in the name of Yashiya/Yashaiya[Jesus] and Ruwach[Holy-Spirit] REPENT AND SEEK THE MOST HIGH AND YOU SHALL FIND

THROUGH PRECEPTS GET UNDERSTANDING

Isa_28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:


Psa_119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.


*Deal with King James Version Bible ONLY"


Much love to everyone who views this note, But really ask yourself the question. Sit down and just ask yourself.



There are Many People, who use certain (single) scriptures to support what I like to call,

"THE EASY WAY OUT".



John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
■Many use this particular scripture to say that all they have to do is believe in Christ and they will have eternal life!
■What they fail to realize is that believing in Christ (the SON of "God") is just ONE requirement upon other requirements that will grant them eternal life. I’ll prove this a little later.

Let's look at another scripture that "Most" people are using as an "EASY WAY OUT".



They are teaching that Christ did away with the LAWs (includes the 10 commandments) and made his own commandments.



John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.



Christ did say to “keep his commandments".

And we should....



But let's make this clear!
■Christ NEVER said "don't keep my fathers commandments"
■Christ's commandments were his Father's commandments!

John 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.



John 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

John 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore,

even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.



John 8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
■Christ was just following his father's Commandment and he taught what he learned from his father.

Joh 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love;

even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Joh 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
■And as you see Christ KEPT his father's Commandments. So should we!!



1Jn 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

1Jn 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.



1Jn 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
■So we are to walk as christ walked. Christ walked in his father commandments



Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.



So yes, If you follow Christ's commandment (to LOVE) than you will not SIN.



What is sin?



1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.



Therfore by keeping his commandment (To LOVE), it will prevent you from Breaking the LAW.

Or in other words, you will not break the Father's commandments.



Christ instructed his disciples and others OUT OF the LAW (Torah) and the Prophets.
■(There was no New Testament when Christ walked the Earth)



The Most High saw how men had hardened hearts and he used his Son (christ) to show how to us how to keep the Law with Love.
■ Christ strengthened the law and made it less tolerable to sin against it.



Example: Christ showed us how to avoid breaking the law by giving a further commandment which prevents us from breaking the law of the Father.



Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

Matthew 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
■The law/commandment tells us not to KILL. But Christ knew that if he commanded us to not even be angry or HATE one another, than it would prevent us from KILLING (breaking the Law/Sinning).
■That doesn't mean that we can kill or that the law that say that we can't kill is done away.
■How hard is that to understand?

Another Example:



Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
■How does Christ telling us not to lust mean that we don't have to keep the law that says to not commit adultery?
■The Law/commandment tells us not to commit adultery> but Christ knew that if he commanded not to lust, that it would prevent us from ADULTERY.

It's very simple. If we LOVE each other, than we will not SIN. Christ STRENGTHENED the LAW, he didn't make it Void or do away with the Law.



Questions:
■Christ commanded us to LOVE one another, but what about our love for "GOD" ?
■How do we know and show that we love "GOD"?

1Jn 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
■We love The Most high by Keeping his Commandments.

///// THE TEN COMMANDMENTS \\\\\
1.Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2.Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, Exo 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
3.Exo 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain;
4.Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God:
5.Exo 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother:
6.Exo 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
7.Exo 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8.Exo 20:15 Thou shalt not steal.
9.Exo 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
10.Exo 20:17 Thou shalt not covet
■When we look at LOVE and understand it, it is not just an Emotion. Love requires an Action.

If we love "God" we will keep the First four commandments.

If we love our Neighbors we will keep the other six commandments.


■Christ didn't ONLY say to keep his commandment to LOVE ONLY. He also preached and taught his fathers commandments.

Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

Mat 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Mat 22: 38 This is the first and great commandment.

Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.



So what this is saying is that if you love the Most High...
■You will have no gods before him
■You will not make any graven images or bow down to them
■You will not take his name in Vain
■You will keep the Sabbath

What this is also saying is that, if you love your neighbor...
■You will honor you mother and father
■you will not murder others
■you will not commit adultery
■you will not steal from others
■you will not bear false witness against others
■you will not Covet (want what others have)

< Same Scenario >

Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

Mar 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.



Leviticus 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.



Christ magnified and strengthened the Laws of his father his God and kept them, he didn't come destroy them.



Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy,

but to fulfil.

Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled



Christ said not to even put it in your mind that he came to destroy the law and he said he didn't come to destroy it twice in one sentence. He also said that no one should even think to pass from the law as long as heaven and earth are still here. Take a look outside. Is heaven and earth still here?


■Let me wrap this up by showing that christ actually steered people to the law and not away from it.

luke 5:12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

luke 5:13 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

luke 5:14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according (as Moses commanded), for a testimony unto them.



Matthew 15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

Mat 15:5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

Mat 15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.



So remember at the beginning where i mentioned that most people use the scripture John 3:36 to saythat all they have to do is Believe in Christ and that is what makes them saved or have eternal life?



Again that's just ONE requirement upon other requirements that will grant them eternal life.
■let's see what christ and the scriptures have to say about Eternal life.



Luke 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

Luk 10:26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

Luk 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

Luk 10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
■ Looks like Christ told him to keep the Laws in order to have eternal Life!

Mark 10:17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

Mark 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

Mark 10:19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
■ Looks like Christ knew that he must keep and not break the Laws!



We must have Both, the Father and the Son. We must keep the commandments of the father and believe on his Son.



1John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth (the Father and the Son).

1John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth (the Son hath the Father also).

1John 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall (continue in the Son, and in the Father).

1John 2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even (eternal life).



Rev 12:17 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.



Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.



IF YOUR ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE "EASY WAY OUT"...



The "EASY WAY" is to keep the Commandments and the Commandments are not Grievous. Otherwise they will have an "EASY WAY" out of the kingdom.
