GOD WILL LIVE WITH US
Brethren, what do you see when you read the Ten Commandments described in Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21? I heard some of you say “old stuff”. Indeed, the Ten Commandments are “old stuff,” but don’t we see the same problems, or even worst problems today compared to when the Prophet Moses was alive? Yes, I see our moral problems today worse than during Jesus’ or Moses’ time. The Ten Commandments is a word picture of the terms that God’s people have to meet before God wants to live with us on the new earth.
Jesus said in John 14:15,21,23,24, "If you love Me, keep My commandments. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him. If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.”
Jesus promises that if we keep His commandments, He and His Father will make Their home with us. Oh, what a great honor! Keeping His commandments is what we must do if we want to live with Jesus on the new Earth!
These are His words and not mine. Jesus said He will live with us if we keep His commandments. We can believe Him now, or we can pay for it later!
