The Commands Of Christ

I have just added The Commands Of Christ from the gospels

To my publications list.

It is critical for Christians to understand what Christ has commanded us.

I have gone through each of the gospels and written them out.

It is 35 pages long in the manner in which I write.

I hope that all who read this will find it useful in their walk with Christ Jesus.

The following is a sample from this document:

From The Gospel Of Matthew

Jesus answered him, 'It is also written:

'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' (Matthew 4:7)

Jesus said to him, 'Away from me, Satan!

For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'

(Matthew 4:10)

From that time on Jesus began to preach,

'Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.' (Matthew 4:17)

As Jesus was walking beside the sea of Galilee,

He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew.

They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.

'Come, follow me,' Jesus said, 'and I will make you fishers of men.'

At once they left their nets and followed him. (Matthew 4:18-20)

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you

And falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in Heaven,

For in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

(Matthew 5:12)

In the same way, let your light shine before men,

That they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven.

(Matthew 5:16)

Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar

And there remember that your brother has something against you,

Leave your gift there in front of the altar.

First go and be reconciled to your brother;

Then come an offer your gift. (Matthew 5:23-24)

Settle matters quickly with your adversary

Who is taking you to court.

Do it while your are still with him on the way,

Or he may hand you over to the judge,

And the judge may hand you over to the officer,

And you may be thrown into prison.

I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

(Matthew 5:25-26)

Oaths

Again, you have heard that it was said to people long ago,

'Do not break you oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.'

But I tell you, Do not swear at all:

Either by Heaven, for it is God's throne;

Or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem,

For it is the city of the Great King.

And do not swear by your head,

For you cannot make even one hair white or black.

Simply let your 'Yes” be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No';

Anything beyond this comes from the evil one. (Matthew 5:33-37)

An Eye For An Eye

'You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'

But I tell you, Do not resist and evil person.

If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic,

Let him have your cloak as well.

If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. (Matthew 5:38-42)

Love Your Enemies

'You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

But I tell you:

Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

That you may be sons of your Father in Heaven.

He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good,

And sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?

Are not even the tax collectors doing that?

And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others?

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

(Matthew 5:43-48)

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
