Luke 12:34
For where your treasure is, there
your heart will be also.
Luke 12:35
“Be dressed ready for service
and keep your lamps burning,
Luke 12:36
like men waiting for their master to
return from a wedding banquet, so
that when he comes and knocks they
can immediately open the door for
him.”
At the moment,
God’s Constitution, the two
eternal laws of the universe has been
written on two tablets of stone.
These two tablets are
called the Ten Commandments.
In other words, the
Ten Commandments are the two house
rules of the universe – restated
by God for fallen man so that there
can be no wiggle room by sinners when
it comes to defining love.
Love is not lust.
Love is not sex.
Love is not sexual
immorality.
Love is not emotion.
Love is not
indulgence.
Love is not tolerance.
Love is not a lot of
things that fallen man claims love to
be.
God has defined His
two laws in the form of the Ten
Commandments so fallen man can see
what love is and is not.
Love God with all of
our heart, mind and soul:
Tablet #1 (Commandments
1-4)
Love thy neighbor as
thyself:
Tablet #2 (Commandments
6-10)
The Ten Commandments
are prophetic.
They reveal what
informed people will do or not do
when they truly love God and those
around them as God desires.
Paul understood this
fact. He wrote, “Love does no
harm to its neighbor. Therefore love
is the fulfillment of the law.”
(Romans 13:10)
Many people assure me
that the Ten Commandments were nailed
to the cross, made null and void, put
in the trashcan.
But, look at this
verse:
Revelation 11:19
Then God’s temple in heaven was
opened, and within his temple was
seen the ark of his covenant. And
there came flashes of lightening,
rumblings, peals of thunder, and
earthquake and a great
hailstorm.”
Why does God show the
Ark of the Covenant at the end of the
seventh trumpet?
What is the Ark of the
Covenant?
His Covenant!
Deuteronomy 4:12
Then the Lord spoke to you out of the
fire. You heard the sound of words
but saw no form; there was only a
voice.
Deuteronomy 4:13
He declared to you his covenant, the
Ten Commandments, which he commanded
you to follow and then wrote them on
two stone tablets.”
Why are the Ten
Commandments called a covenant?
There’s a promise
that goes with obeying God’s two
laws of love.
The promise is this:
If you will obey my
Word (which will constantly push you
into the two laws of love that govern
the universe), I will be your
Protection and Provider (God).
Leviticus 26:3
“If you will follow my decrees
and are careful to obey my
commands…
Leviticus 26:12
I will walk among you and be your
God, and you will be my people.
The Ten Commandments
are called a covenant because they
are based on a promise.
And, they are kept in
a box that is called, “The Ark
of the Covenant,” because this
is the covenant:
Trust and Obey and I
will be your God and you will be my
people.
God says: Obey my Ten
Commandments because they will
constantly challenge you to (1) love
me first and (2) your neighbor as
your self.
At the seventh
trumpet, Jesus is going to show the
Ark of the Covenant to the world
BECAUSE contrary to what millions of
Christians believe, the Ten
Commandments were not nailed to the
cross.
The Ten Commandments
are just as important today as they
were on the day that Jesus spoke them
from Mt. Sinai.
