Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:19 (BBE)
If you go against any of the commandments of God, then you are in serious trouble. Trying to belittle any of God’s commandments isn’t advisable. Trying to convince others to belittle any of God’s commandments isn’t highly advisable. Deuteronomy 27:26 states: Cursed is he who does not take this law to heart to do it. And let all the people say, So be it (BBE). Psalms 119:6 states: Then I would not be put to shame, as long as I have respect for all your teaching (BBE). Psalms 119:128 states: Because of it I keep straight in all things by your orders; and I am a hater of every false way (BBE).
Hate the false way, choose the true way, indeed. That is the way to go. Follow the light. Galatians 3;10-13 states: For all who are of the works of the law are under a curse: because it is said in the Writings, A curse is on everyone who does not keep on doing all the things which are ordered in the book of the law. Now that no man gets righteousness by the law in the eyes of God, is clear; because, The upright will be living by faith. And the law is not of faith; but, He who does them will have life by them. Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree (BBE).
Jesus Christ has set you free from the curse of the law! He died for us and was resurrected. James 2:10 states: For anyone who keeps all the law, but makes a slip in one point, is judged to have gone against it all (BBE). Matthew 23:23 states: A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make men give a tenth of all sorts of sweet-smelling plants, but you give no thought to the more important things of the law, righteousness, and mercy, and faith; but it is right for you to do these, and not to let the others be undone (BBE). Jesus said taht to the scribes and Pharisees. Deuteronomy 12:32 states: You are to keep with care all the words I give you, making no addition to them and taking nothing from them (BBE). Luke 11:42 states: You are to keep with care all the words I give you, making no addition to them and taking nothing from them (BBE).
Follow all the commandments of God to the letter. Matthew 15:3-6 states; And in answer he said to them, Why do you, yourselves, go against the word of God on account of the teaching which has been handed down to you? For God said, Give honour to your father and mother: and, He who says evil of father or mother will be put to death. But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God; There is no need for him to give honour to his father. And you have made the word of God without effect because of your teaching (BBE).
Give honor to your father and mother. Matthew 23:16-22 states: A curse is on you, blind guides, who say, Whoever takes an oath by the Temple, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the gold of the Temple, he is responsible. You foolish ones and blind: which is greater, the gold, or the Temple which makes the gold holy? And, Whoever takes an oath by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the offering which is on it, he is responsible. You blind ones: which is greater, the offering, or the altar which makes the offering holy? He, then, who takes an oath by the altar, takes it by the altar and by all things on it. And he who takes an oath by the Temple, takes it by the Temple and by him whose house it is. And he who takes an oath by heaven, takes it by the seat of God, and by him who is seated on it (BBE).
You have turned to the wrong path. Malachi 2:8-9 states: But you are turned out of the way; you have made the law hard for numbers of people; you have made the agreement of Levi of no value, says the Lord of armies. And so I have taken away your honour and made you low before all the people, even as you have not kept my ways, and have given no thought to me in using the law (BBE) Romans 3:8 states: Let us not do evil so that good may come (a statement which we are falsely said by some to have made), because such behaviour will have its right punishment (BBE).
Don’t speak falsehood. One falsehood will lead to another and you will eventually be found out. Romans 6:1 states: What may we say, then? are we to go on in sin so that there may be more grace (BBE). Don’t think that you can just sin all you want. Romans 6:15 states: What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so (BBE). 1st Timothy 6:3-4 states: If any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true religion, He has an over-high opinion of himself; being without knowledge, having only an unhealthy love of questionings and wars of words, from which come envy, fighting, cruel words, evil thoughts (BBE).
When you are full of pride, you will be highly argumentative, cruel and filled with evil thoughts. For those reasons being humble is vital. Revelation 2:14-15 states: But I have some things against you, because you have with you those who keep the teaching of Balaam, by whose suggestion Balak made the children of Israel go out of the right way, taking food which was offered to false gods, and going after the desires of the flesh. And you have those who keep the teaching of the Nicolaitans (BBE). Revelation 2:20 states; But I have this against you, that you let the woman Jezebel say she is a prophet and give false teaching, making my servants go after the desires of the flesh and take food offered to false gods (BBE). Matthew 11:11 states: Truly I say to you, Among the sons of women there has not been a greater than John the Baptist: but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he (BBE). 1st Samuel 2:30 states: For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father’s people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes (BBE).
God loves and will bless those who honor and respect Him, but those who don’t honor or respect Him will be in very serious trouble. Matthew 28:20 states: Teaching them to keep all the rules which I have given you: and see, I am ever with you, even to the end of the world (BBE). That is what Jesus said to the disciples before He went to God. Acts 1:1 states: I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first (BBE). Romans 13:8-10 states: Be in debt for nothing, but to have love for one another: for he who has love for his neighbour has kept all the law. And this, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not put to death, Do not take what is another’s, Do not have desire for what is another’s, and if there is any other order, it is covered by this word, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. Love does no wrong to his neighbour, so love makes the law complete (BBE).
Love one another. Galatians 5:14-24 states: For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts (KJV).
The fruit of the Spirit is love, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, etc. Philippians 3:17-18 states: Brothers, take me as your example, and take note of those who are walking after the example we have given. For there are those, of whom I have given you word before, and do so now with sorrow, who are haters of the cross of Christ (BBE). Philippians 4:8-9 states: For the rest, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things have honour, whatever things are upright, whatever things are holy, whatever things are beautiful, whatever things are of value, if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, give thought to these things. The things which came to you by my teaching and preaching, and which you saw in me, these things do, and the God of peace will be with you (BBE).
Listen to the good gospel news and follow Christ with all your heart, voice, soul, mind and strength. 1st Thessalonians 2:10-12 states: You are witnesses, with God, how holy and upright and free from all evil was our way of life among you who have faith; Even as you saw how, like a father with his children, we were teaching and comforting you all, and giving witness, So that your lives might be pleasing to God, who has given you a part in his kingdom and his glory (BBE).
Lead a life that would be pleasing in the sight of God. 1st Thessalonians 4:1-7 states: And last of all, the prayer which we make to you from our heart and in the name of the Lord Jesus, is this: that as we made clear to you what sort of behaviour is pleasing to God, as in fact you are doing now, so you will go on in these ways, but more and more. Because you have in mind the orders we gave you through the Lord Jesus. For the purpose of God for you is this: that you may be holy, and may keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh; So that every one of you may keep his body holy and in honour; Not in the passion of evil desires, like the Gentiles, who have no knowledge of God; And that no man may make attempts to get the better of his brother in business: for the Lord is the judge in all these things, as we said to you before and gave witness. Because it is God’s purpose that our way of life may be not unclean but holy (BBE).
God wants us to lead a holy life. He doesn’t want us to fall for evil desires. 1st Timothy 4:11-12 states: Let these be your orders and your teaching. Let no one make little of you because you are young, but be an example to the church in word, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in holy living (BBE). 1st Timothy 6:11 states; But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour (BBE).
Keep yourself form evil things and be righteous, have a quiet mind, gentle behavior and have faith in God. Titus 2:8-10 states: Saying true and right words, against which no protest may be made, so that he who is not on our side may be put to shame, unable to say any evil of us. Servants are to be under the authority of their masters, pleasing them in all things, without argument; Not taking what is not theirs, but giving clear signs of their good faith, in all things doing credit to the teaching of God our Saviour (BBE). Do things that pleases our Savior Jesus Christ. Titus 3:8 states; This is a true saying; and it is my desire that you may give certain witness about these things, so that those who have had faith in God may give attention to good works. These things are good and of profit to men (BBE).
With your faith in Christ also must be good works. Matthew 19:28 states: And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that in the time when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel (BBE). Matthew 20:26 states: Let it not be so among you: but if anyone has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant (BBE). Daniel 12:3 states: And those who are wise will be shining like the light of the outstretched sky; and those by whom numbers have been turned to righteousness will be like the stars for ever and ever (BBE).
When you have wisdom from God, you will shine like the light and if you turn bad people to righteousness that will be great for you. Luke 1:15 states: For he will be great in the eyes of the Lord; he will not take wine or strong drink; and he will be full of the Spirit of God from his birth (BBE). That tells us of an angel who spoke those words to Zechariah about his son John the Baptist. Luke 9:48 states: And said to them, Whoever gives honour to this child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour to him who sent me: for whoever is least among you all, that man is great (BBE). Luke 22:24-26 states: And there was an argument among them about which of them was the greatest. And he said, The kings of the Gentiles are lords over them, and those who have authority are given names of honor. But let it not be so with you; but he who is greater, let him become like the younger; and he who is chief, like a servant (BBE). Be humble. 1st Peter 5:4 states: And at the coming of the chief Keeper of the sheep, you will be given the eternal crown of glory (BBE).
In conclusion, Matthew 5:19 tells us that when you have wisdom from God, you will shine like the light and if you turn bad people to righteousness that will be great for you. With your faith in Christ also must be good works. If you go against any of the commandments of God, then you are in serious trouble. Trying to belittle any of God’s commandments isn’t advisable. Trying to convince others to belittle any of God’s commandments isn’t highly advisable. Listen to the good gospel news and follow Christ with all your heart, voice, soul, mind and strength. Thank God for every thing He has done for you in the past is doing in the present and will do in the future. If you follow righteousness you will find life, righteousness and honor. Glorify God, thank him for all the things he has done for you and will do in the future.
