WHAT DOE'S GOD REQUIRE FROM YOU?
MICAH 6:8 If we truly love God and our neighbor, Then we will naturally keep the commandments. Look at God's law positively...rather than worrying about all the things we should not do. We should concentrate on all we can do to show our love for God and others.
MATHEW 22:37 The pharisees often tried to figure out or distinguish the more important from the less important laws. So they asked Jesus to identify the most important law...Jesus then quoted from DUETERONOMY 6:5 and from LEVITICUS 19:18 By filling these two commands, a person keeps all others and they summerize the ten commandments and the Old Testament moral laws.
DUETERONOMY 10:12-13 HERE LIST FIVE THINGS IN WHICH GOD REQUIRES FROM US. (1)we are to fear God-To fear God is to be submisive. (2)WE ARE TO WALK IN ALL HIS WAY'S- note: It does not say walk in some of His way's- It's all His way's. God is in control, do His will, read the bible to live a Godly life.(3)WE ARE TO LOVE HIM We should worship Him no matter what, and be willing to do anything fot Him.(FULL SUPPORT) (4)WE SHOULD SERVE THE LORD OUR GOD. (5)WE SHOULD KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS We should all read the word daily! If you dont read the scriptures, then how will you know what to do, and what not to do??? I really like that bumper sticker that reads: REAL MEN READ INSTRUCTIONS.
ISAIAH 1:16-17 In verse 16 It states put away evil doings...We need to stop in our sin and turn to Jesus for help. Sometimes the Holy Spirit needs help in renewing you. You really have to want change for it to occure...kick away your stumbling block(s). Stop hanging around worldly people. Dont listen to worldly music, T.V. programs, or movies. Replace your wordly cares with Jesus, Read the Bible instead of giving into the Television, Movies, or Music.
1 TIMOTHY 1:5-11 As Christians we should be motivated by love, truth, and faith. It can be exciting to explore and dig deep into the doctrine. Some people only try to impress others with a lot of knowledge, Position based on falsehood is ultimately empty!!!Leaders who truely follow Christ will find a lasting eternal reward as they see His truth spread throughout the world and see His perfect love tranform people everywhere.
Theology can be hairspiting- Arguing about tiny details about scipture- can take and make us miss the intent of Gods message.
We should alow nothing to distract us from the good news of Jesus....or the main point of the scpripture.
We need to know what the scripture says and apply them to our lives daily, and we can be witnesses full of knowledge.
Don't spend so much time, sweating the details of the scripture, that you miss the main point of what God is trying to teach you.
In verse #6 The whole idea the false teachers missed, was the purpose of Gods law.
