2Timothy 3:16. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”
Is Gods Law or His Word changeable? no
Malachi 3:6. “For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.”
Why was man created as well as the earth?
Revelations 4:11. “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”
1) How do we show God that we love Him and desire His pleasure?
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.”
John 15:9,10-17 "As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 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. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another."
2) If we say that we are Christlike or Christians, how will we behave?
1John 2:4. “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”
2:5 “But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.”
John 15:18-25 "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. 23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause."
Should Gods word conflict and lack consistency?
Isaiah 28:10. “For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:”
What was the Apostles Doctrine after their training by Christ Jesus?
Acts 2:38. “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Did Christs Disciples follow His Law regarding rest, worship, and reverence of the 4th Commandment Law?
Acts 13:42. “And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
13:43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
13:44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.”
Did God set aside a Special Worship Day which He honored, blessed, and sanctified?
Genesis 2:1. “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.”
2:3 “And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.”
Jesus Christ rested in the grave on Sabbath of Crucifixion week, then He rose early Sunday the first day of the week and returned to work. Luke 23:54-Luke 24:9. "And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment. Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. 3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: 5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 8 And they remembered his words, 9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest."
Did God intend man to forget or usurp His day?
Hebrews 4:4. “For he spake in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
4:5 And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my rest.
4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.”
Did God remind His people of the importance of following His Law at the end of the Old Testament?
Malachi 4:4. “Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the statutes and judgments.
4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”
4)Does God remind us of His Law and the importance of our obedience to His Law at the End of the New Testament?
Revelations 22:14. “Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”
What will all Commandment Keeping Saints of the Lord Jesus Christ do every Sabbath, or Seventh Day of the week in our Heavenly Home?
Isaiah 66:22. “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
66:23 And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.”
Are the majority of the world or Christians doing what’s right and obeying Gods Law?
Matthew 7:13. “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:”
Will God grant the vast majority of people admittance to His Heavenly Kingdom? 7:14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
3) If we lie or listen to and obey liars, what will our fate be?
Revelation 21:8. “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
This is the anti-typical Day of Atonement, and our High Priest is in the Most Holy of the Heavenly sanctuary performing the Investigative judgment. We need to seriously rid ourselves of any idol, by truly afflicting our souls via self-reflection, and self-examination. Idols may be anything that is not of God, animate, or inanimate, and they may be anything that take up our time and prevents us from spending time with God. ****Sorcery, we may deny, but this definition should open our eyes. Pastor Ivor Myers, says that sorcery is “anything that medicates the mind, so that it cannot, or will not follow the Law or the Will of God.” As Christians, we are to follow Christ in all things. My flesh is sinful, and I recognize now, that my affinity for competitive sports, emulation, for all these years, is of the devil. The thirty three years, and a half, that Christ spent here on this earth, were spent in doing the will of his Father. The last three and a half years, He spent, healing the sick, ministering, and teaching, the Way of Salvation. Do we read of Christ ever having a pick-up game of beach volleyball, football, soccer, or basketball, with His disciples? Why not? Simply, because, He was the sinless Son of God. In these sports games, there is faking, lying, pretending, and overall deception, which is of satan. **** Galatians 5:19-21., states, “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” Revelations 22:15., we find these words, “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” **** I plan to be within the City of God, how about you? We must pray for forgiveness of all sin, and everything that is contrary to God. We must confess these evils and repent, and most of all forsake these ills, through the power of Jesus Christ. We must pray for the power of the Holy Spirit, to cleanse us and cause us to view these things as detrimental poisons to our soul salvation.
5)What does the Book of James say that will happen to those who forsake one of Gods Laws?
James 2:10. “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.”
2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
What is Gods purpose regarding His Law?
Matthew 5:17. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
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.”
Luke 21:25-36."And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. 29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."
