Today's devotional reading for:
Monday, Jun 1, 2020 The Ten Commandments Today
“Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.”
— 1 John 2:3
In numerous classes, to hundreds of people, I have posed this question:
“Can anyone tell me any one single thing any person can do that would please God other than obey His law?”
What would you say?
It’s a tough question, and so far, no one in my classes has come up with an answer. Some have said, “Well, we could love God,” and to do so would be to obey what Jesus said was the first and greatest commandment: to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, strength, and mind.
But many others hold the erroneous belief that because Christians are saved by faith—without having done anything to earn our salvation except receive Jesus’ free gift of grace—that we do not have to keep God’s laws after we’re saved.
That’s not what the apostle Paul teaches. In Romans 3:31, he asks and answers the question about keeping the Law:
“Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not. On the contrary, we establish the law.”
When God gave His law in the Old Testament, He also promised to purify us and write His law on the walls of our hearts. Then we would no longer be like the wild horse that does not want to submit to a bridle and does everything in his power to fight against it. Instead, we’d be like the tame horse that willingly and gladly submits to the guidance of his master and wears the bridle.
God promised to take away our wildly rebellious hearts and give us new hearts of glad submission. Because of our new hearts, we can say with David, who was called a man after God’s own heart,
“Oh, how I love thy law. It is my meditation day and night.”
This should be the attitude of our heart. We should believe, as the apostle Paul did, that God’s law is good and just and holy. We should remember Jesus’ teaching,
“If you love me, keep my commandments.”
Will you covenant with me today to obey God’s commandments, showing your gratitude to and love for Him by doing so?
“If we do not have a law of God,
how shall we know His will?” Horatio Bonar  | ||||||

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
