PUT GOD FIRST - PART I
Respect, Honor, Polite Attitudes with the utmost of praise unto The
Heavenly Father is not a demand of the Heavenly Father but is instead very
welcomed and appreciated by Him!
As God told Abraham!
Genesis 12:3 And I will bless
them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all
families of the earth be blessed.
Moses and King David also remembered what the
Lord said
to Abraham!
Psalm 115:13 He will bless them
that fear the Lord, both small and great.
Jesus The Son of God said!
Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use
you, and persecute you;
[But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you,
and persecute you]
Four commands in Matthew 5:44:
1. Love your enemies.
2. Bless them that curse you.
3. Do good to those that hate you.
4. Pray for your persecutors.
These
are four of over 1,050 commands in the New Testament to be obeyed by
Christians. The universal impression in Christendom that there are 10
commandments to obey is far from the truth, there are many more then that!
New
Testament Commands
There
are 1,050 commands in the New Testament for Christians to obey. Due to
repetitions we can classify them under about 800 headings. They cover every phase of man's life in his
relationship to God and his fellowmen, now and hereafter. If obeyed, they will bring rich rewards here
and forever; if disobeyed, they will bring condemnation and eternal punishment. They are not to be confused with the 10
commandments which God gave unto Moses for Moses to give unto the Hebrew people
which are also referred to as the Laws of Moses. However, they pertain to and involve
them.
They are divided below under their various
headings.
