10 commandments Pt 1
The 10 Commandments (1 of 10)
Exodus 20:1-3 And God spoke all these words saying, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
You can’t worship the one and only True God if you don’t know Him.? God doesn’t hear the prayers of a non-repentant sinner.
John 9:31, Now we know that God does not hear non-repentant sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.
God’s will is that you repent of your sins and believe in Jesus. ? If you don’t, He doesn’t ask you to talk to Him, chant to Him, nor sing to Him because?you don’t know Him. ? He doesn’t even hear your prayers if you don’t believe in Him.? If you believe in Him, you are righteous, through your faith.
Proverbs 15:29? The Lord Hears the Prayers of the Righteous.
Well, there is one prayer that God hears from a non-believer is a prayer of repentance, or at least someone honestly seeking Him. ? I got saved that way. ? I asked God to help me to believe in Him, because I didn’t believe in Him, but wanted to.? That desire to believe in God is supernatural.? You only have that urge if God is calling you.? If you respond to that urge, you are chosen.
Matthew 22:14? Many are called but few are Chosen.
Then, one night, all alone, I said the sinner’s prayer.? The True, one and only God of Israel became my God.? He changed my heart and I fell in love with Him in the blink of an eye. I have never been the same since. ? The prayer was more or less like this.
I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, and I acknowledge my sins: I humbly ask you to forgive me, O Lord, forgive me, help me to change, and to live for you only. ?Come into my life and take over.? I know all my own efforts are worthless.
Acts?2:38?Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
God doesn’t hear the prayer of the sinner, but as soon as you repent, you are no longer a sinner.? You are righteous.? But you can’t repent if you do not believe, which is the main message of Jesus!
Matthew 1:15 And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. ? Only when you repent from your sins and believe the True Gospel of the Resurrected Lord?are you saved.? (Romans says confess Jesus as well to others.? Don’t worry, if Jesus is in your heart, you will!? You can not stop talking about Him once you know Him personally.)? Are you truly saved??Then God is your God, and you are delivered from the land of bondage (sin) as mentioned above.? Then, and only then He IS your God, before He wasn’t
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Today, in church, during the praise and worship, we were all happily singing to the Lord. ?Caught up in the moment. just praising Jesus.? Then the praise and worship leader stopped and gave a brief sermonette completely unrelated to anything. (it’s a common, weekly practice).? Then he said something else completely unrelated and nowhere to be found Biblically. ?‘Show up God’! He prayed, ‘Show up!’ ? Bottom line, it was a wet blanket on the moment (which is ok, I don’t go by emotions) but it also caught me by surprise. ? It is important for a believer to know the 5 Attributes of God, that only He has. ? If you read the Bible, you would know these attributes.
5 Attributes of God, that only He is:
-Immutable.? Only God does not change.
-Eternal.? Only God is eternal, no beginning or end.
-Omniscient.? Only God is all knowing.
-Omnipotent.? Only God is all powerfull.
-Omnipresent.? ?Only God is everywhere, all the time.
God is Omnipresent.? He can’t show up because He’s already here!? Only God is everywhere at the same time.? If you knew Him you’d know that, right?? He can’t show up if He is already with us.
Matthew 28:20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
I used to get offended by people using the name of God in vain (coming up again in 2 weeks). But now I don’t.? About a month ago I realized that most people don’t have My God as their god. So their OMg’s in fb and ‘oh my god’ isn’t referring to my God. ? Their god might be songs, Oprah, movements, National Israel, Hamas (Hebrew for violence), music (even praise and worship), preaching (even solid Biblical teaching), fashion, politics, their kids, their spouses, their church, their bodies, their tv, their philosophies among also the other billion other gods.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Interesting fact.? The Ten Commandments were an announcement to the world but I am guessing that 99 percent of all professing Christians don’t know them by heart, and 90% of those guys that do can’t tell you the book, chapter and verse that they are written.? If you can, congratulations!? Many pastors can’t even, which is why when I hear them on the radio saying ‘dios mio’ while preaching I just turn them off.? It doesn’t offend me at all.? Not my God they’re talking about, it’s their god. Sneak preview, of 2 weeks from now… ? The third of The Ten Commandments states,
"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain" (Exodus 20:7)
Do you know what the purpose of the Ten Commandments are??? ? The Ten Commandments are a public list for the world to obey. The Mosaic laws are for the Jewish people only. The purpose of the Ten Commandments is to show the world that we are all guilty and deserve hell. Jesus is our only hope.
Romans 3:23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
We are all sinners who can not go to heaven without a new birth with Jesus Christ.? Our Savior, Jesus Christ lived without sin, without breaking the 10 commandments.? That is why only He could die for our sins.? He Himself had to be the Sacrificial Lamb without blemish.? That is the only way that He could take our sins away, by washing us with His blood shed on Calvary.
Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.? Jesus is without sin, because Jesus is God, as is the Father, and as is the Holy Spirit.? Only God is perfect, only God can take away our sin so we can go to heaven.
“Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins” (Heb.?9:22)
So, if someone says they deserve to go to heaven (saved) by their works, by keeping the 10 commandments, or the beatitudes all the time, they’re fibbing. We need the Son of God to save us.? It is impossible for anyone to keep the 10 commandments, except for Jesus. If you say you are without sin, first off, it shows that you are not in a correct relationship with God. He is not your God. 2nd, you are calling God a liar. ?If that is the case,?He is also not your God.? He is our true God only when we realize that without Him we are nothing and we throw ourselves at His feet for mercy and obey Him.
I John 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
