RE: SPIRITUAL FOOD 4 THOUGHT : MY YOKE IS EASY AND MY BURDEN IS LIGHT
As I was listening to the video a couple of verses came to mind.....
Deuteronomy 30:11-14 “For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 13 Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 14 But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.
1 John 5:2-3 "By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome."
Very nice. I'm doing a follow up video that will head deeper into this, and I'll be sharing that Deuteronomy passage, along with a few others. Thanks!
The Law was for Israel. Grace is for everyone. We no longer have to keep the 613 parts of the Jewish law. Read the New Testament. It's impossible to miss it.
You go ahead and not keep them...I want to be great in the kingdom of heaven...
Matthew 5:18-19 - For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
@barncat says "the law was for Israel"
The Bible says
barncat says "we no longer have to keep the 613 parts of the Jewish law"
I @dwells say first of all Jewish law is the talmud, all of the laws that Jewish rabbis created to add on top of the laws that God gave. The 613 commands are from the Torah and they are God's commands God's laws and they are for all of us and for today.
