According to Scripture Sponsored bv Pembroke Seventh Dav Adventist Church Res elation 14 12 "Here is the patience of the saints here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." We have been looking at faith the last couple of weeks Now let us turn our attention to the other half of this verse that describes two attributes of those who ssill be in Heaven with Jesus"; neither is it possible to have true faith, "the faith of Jesus", without keeping the commandments of Gad^For it is the natural fruit of true faitlvMany people point out the experience of the thief who w as crucified along side of Jesus, and say that all that he did w as have faith Really? didn't he rebuke his fellow thief who was reviling Jesus on the cross, didn't he show remorse and responsibility for his evil deeds, didn't he ask Jesus to be his Lord and thereby show faith? He did not break any of God's law from the time of his profession of faith until his death. What are these commandments? The 10 commandments recorded in Exodus 20:3-17 arc the same ones that Jesus spoke of when He said "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." (John 15:10) Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-19 that no part of this law would pass away until all that has been written should be fulfilled. James 2:8-12 lets us know that it is called the Royal Law. Psalms 19:7 tells us that the law is of God and it is perfect. Malachi 3:6 tells us that " God-does not change. James also lets us know that the commandments are - one whoie law (James 2:10) If you were suspended by a chain of ten links above a pit of venomous snakes, , it would not matter which link broke ' if you were bitten so that you would die It is like that with the 10 commandments; it matters not which or the ten one breaks, breaking any of . them makes one guilty before God. Most of society recognizes that it is wrong to kill, steal or lie (that's 3), most Christians are taught that it's a sin to take God's name in vain, covet ' their neighbors possessions, commit ' adultery,, to dishonor their parents. or to have anything else as a god before God (money, cars. power, spouse) That is 5 more, and this brings our total to eight of the ten commandments Two most ignored as being sins are the second and forth commandments The second is , "Thou shall not make unto thee an> graven image, or any likeness ot anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them for 1 the Lord thy God am a jealous God. v isiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me. and keep my commandments." The largest church on Earth today is the Roman Catholic and it has completely removed the second commandment, and in order to keep the correct number of commandments. they split the tenth into two parts in their catechism Any v isitor to a R.C. Church will see images all around, of mary. of Jesus, or some otherdisciple/saint Many of the other religions of the world worship images of metal, wood, or stone. These have no thought or breath and can't help those who worship them in any way. Those who profess Christianity arc to reflect the characteristics gf Jesus from withinthem, it is they that are to be a spectacle to the world, it is they w ho are to be seen and not an image made of stone. The believer in Jesus worships a living God, not a dead one. The fourth commandment is: "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shall thou labour, and do all thy work: But the sev enth day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work. thou, nor thy son. nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it." This is the^oldest commandment for it <vasgiven as the crowning act of creation week, this can be found in Genesis 2:1.2. The word remember has become forgotten.
