At-a-glance …

Everything works by laws.

Jesus created all things. Jesus was the giver of all law

But people have freewill

We have chosen to rebel against those laws

Jesus who is God wants us to know the blessings of living within His laws.

THE COMMANDS OF GOD

Command/commandment—an order, a bidding, something commanded by one in authority.

Covenant—an agreement between two parties. In the Bible it is something that we choose to become part of, to obey, and God in turn pours upon us His blessings and also the help needed to keep our part of the covenant. It is an everlasting covenant based on the moral law.

Moral law—laws that are concerned with right and wrong, the Ten Commandments.

Sermon on the Mount—the preaching of Jesus as recorded in Matthew 5-7.

Mount Sinai—Where Moses received of God the Ten Commandments written on two tablets of stone.

Sanctuary—A special holy tent, later superseded by the temple

 

Q1 What did Jesus say was essential to be taught to new Christians?

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.  Matthew 28:20

NOTE:  This means that we look in the Bible to discover how Jesus commanded His followers to live.

Q2 When the people had heard the words of Jesus in His sermon on the Mount what did they say?

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:  For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.  Matthew 7:28,29.

Q3 In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus had taken the Ten Commandments and amplified them.  What was one example?

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery; But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in His heart. Matthew 5:27,28.

Q4 What authority did Jesus have for expounding on the Ten Commandments.

Thou camest down upon Mount Sinai and speakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgements and true laws, good statutes and commandments.  Nehemiah 9:13

Q5 How do we know it was Jesus who came down on Mount Sinai?

Thou even thou art Lord alone. Thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all. Nehemiah 9:6
