Satan’s Deceptions on God’s Law of Love

What do you do if you are not sure?

In the world today there are over five hundred denominations of Sabbath keeping Churches that keep the Sabbath to the tune of millions of people and there are millions of people who also do not. So, if one cannot honestly establish what the truth is, then what should they do? If our perfect God did make a mistake when He put the Sabbath with His Ten great rules of love and those that therefore keep God’s Sabbath are wrong, are they in any possible trouble? If our perfect God did not make a mistake when He put the Sabbath with His Ten great rules of love and those that don’t keep the true Sabbath day are wrong are they in any possible trouble? Let’s first run through a lot of scriptures to see if one can justify why one would believe the Bible says we should keep all the Commandments.

1.) The only thing God spoke and added to His word personally was His Ten Commandments.

2.) Matthew 5:17-20 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”

3.) Matthew 5:27-30 “You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29 And if your right eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell 30 And if your right hand offend you, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.”

4.) Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV “Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'”

5.) This verse says that “ALL the Law” hang on these two Commandments. Matthew 22:35-40 “Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, You shall love your neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

6.) This one seems to be a pretty clear and easy to understand verse. John 14:15 “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

7.) John 14:21 “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”

8.) John 15:10 “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.”

9.) Romans 3:31 “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.”

10.) Romans 6:14-15 “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.”

11.) Romans 7:12 “Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.”

12.) Loving your neighbour as yourself is a way of summing up the Commandments and covering anything not specifically mentioned. Romans 13:9-10 “For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. ”

13.) The old and new covenants were both made with the house of Israel but that is not a problem because Galatians 3:29 says, “And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

14.) God said He would now write His law on our hearts and unless someone can show from the Bible that “His Law” is now something different… All other aspects of the Law were nailed to the cross. Hebrews 8:10 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:”

15.) This says immense trouble for those that sin wilfully. Hebrews 10:26-29 “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?”

16.) It is called the “Perfect law of liberty.” James 1:25 “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.”

17.) If you offend on even one point you have broken the whole law and verse twelve says we will be judged by this “Perfect Law of Liberty.” James 2:10-12 “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12 “So speak you, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.”

18.) Since Jesus is the Way and the Truth then if we don’t have truth then we don’t have Jesus and if we don’t have Jesus then we don’t have access to the Father. 1 John 2:3-4 “And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”

19.) Sin is breaking the Commandments and why Jesus was nailed to the cross. 1 John 3:4 GNB “Whoever sins is guilty of breaking God's law, because sin is a breaking of the law.”

20.) 1 John 3:22, 24 “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.” 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.”

21.) 1 John 5:3 “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”

22.) God’s remnant Church is going to re-establish all His Commandments as Satan nearly murdered one of them out of existence. Revelation 12:17 “And the dragon (Satan) was wroth (very angry) with the woman, (the Church) and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”

23.) The “Mark of the Beast” has something to do with the Commandments. Those that don’t keep the Commandments get the Mark and those that do keep them do not. At a minimum, those that get the Mark have broken the second Commandment here. Revelation 14:11-12 “And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”

24.) Revelation 22:14 “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”

That was a very long list and there was a lot more that could have added. There is plenty of good reason to believe that God wants us to keep His Commandments and what would be the sin if we were wrong? On the other hand, there is plenty to say that one would be in plenty of trouble if they do sin wilfully. What about the fourth Commandment? Isaiah 58:13-14 says we are to find it a blessing and when one keeps it properly and not in a legalistic manner, it involves a very relaxing day that is superb for ones health. It brings many blessings as you spend it fellowshipping with other Christians building loving relationships. Most importantly, it is quality time with God that also builds on your relationship with Him causing your love for God to grow and blossom! When kept according to the Bible nothing negative can come from it, to the contrary it has many blessings and positive aspects only. Does the Bible give any indication that we could be in any trouble for doing this if we don’t have to keep it? Would those that know the blessings want to stop keeping it anyway? No! So many who have never kept it don’t understand this statement. So, there is lots of excellent evidence to say we should keep all God’s Commandments and that we are not in any trouble if we were wrong. There is also lots of evidence to say that those who don’t keep all the Commandments could be in serious trouble depending on what light they had. Conclusion: If those that keep God’s Commandments are wrong, they are not in any trouble. If those that don’t keep one or more of God’s Commandments are wrong they could be in immense trouble. So what do you do? A wise man of God once said, “If you are ever not sure, then do the safe thing!” See also is the Sabbath Saturday or Sunday?
