Proverbs 7:1-5
My son, keep my words
And treasure my commandments within you.
Keep my commandments and live,
And my teaching as the apple of your eye.
Bind them on your fingers;
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
And call understanding your intimate friend;
That they may keep you from an adulteress,
From the foreigner who flatters with her words.
{{{ John 14:15
“If you love Me, you will keep My Commandments”
Matthew 22:36-40
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
And Jesus said to him,
“ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
This is the great and foremost commandment.
The second is like it,
‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’
On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
These commandments are the root of all of GOD’s commandments,
The ones that all others are built upon.
For if you love those around you;
You will not commit murder / you will not be angry with your brother,
you will not say about your brother ‘you are good for nothing’, you will not call your brother a fool.
“You will not commit adultery”
Matthew 5:28
but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman
with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Matthew 5:31-32
“It was said, ‘WHOEVER SENDS HIS WIFE AWAY,
LET HIM GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE’;
but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife,
except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery;
and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Matthew 5:33-37
“Again, you have heard that the ancients were told,
‘YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FALSE VOWS, BUT SHALL FULFILL YOUR VOWS TO THE LORD.’
“But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,
or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet,
or by Jerusalem, for it is THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING.
Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is of evil.
These are just a few of the commandments of God that Christ Jesus brought to the forefront and expanded upon.
And if you get the great and foremost commandment,
The rest will fall into line.
For if you truly love the Lord your God,
you will have love in your heart for the brethren,
and not break the GOD’s other commandments.
Matthew 7:12
“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you”
Remember this
“No one can serve two masters.”
for either he will hate the one and love the other,
or he will be devoted to one and despise the other.
Matthew 7:13-14
“Enter through the narrow gate;
for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction,
and there are many who enter through it.
“For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life,
and there are few who find it
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to Me,
‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,
but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Many will say to Me on that day,
‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name,
and in Your name cast out demons,
and in Your name perform many miracles?’
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you;
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
Will you keep the words of the LORD?
Write the commandments of the LORD upon your heart?
Will you treasure His commandments within you?
Will you bind them on your fingers?
Will you say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
And call understanding your intimate friend;
This choice is yours.
Will you choose wisely?
