About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"SIN AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
SIN AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
DID YOU KNOW THAT WHEN CAIN KILLED ABLE, HE DID NOT KNOW HE HAD SINNED? IN FACT, NO ONE KNEW THEY WERE SINNING BEFORE THE LAW (THE TEN COMMANDMENTS). GOD GAVE THE LAW TO SHOW PEOPLE JUST HOW BAD THEY WERE. WE SEE THIS IN ROMANS 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. THE LAW SHOWED PEOPLE WHAT SIN WAS AND THAT THEY NEEDED TO CHANGE.
ALTHOUGH PEOPLE WERE SINNING, THEIR SINS WERE NOT BEING CHARGED TO THEM. ROMANS 5:13 TELLS US THIS "For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law." ISN'T IT STRANGE THAT WHEN WE ARE TOLD WE CAN'T DO SOMETHING WE WANT TO DO IT THAT MUCH MORE. THIS IS OUR CARNAL NATURE. ROMANS 7:8 SHOWS US THIS " But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead." I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT CONCUPISCENCE MEANT SO I LOOKED IT UP AND FOUND THAT IT MEANS "A strong desire, especially sexual desire; lust."
DO YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU ARE A BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIAN, YOUR SINS ARE NOT BEING CHARGED TO YOU EITHER? WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW BUT UNDER GRACE. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE GOOD BUT THEY WERE FOR THE JEWS UNDER THE OLD COVENANT. WE ARE UNDER A NEW COVENANT OF GRACE THROUGH JESUS. JESUS REMOVED OUR SINS FROM US (PSALMS 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.)
LET'S NOT FORGET THE OTHER TWO COMMANDMENTS IN MARK 12:29-31 WHICH SAYS, "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment." "And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."
DO YOU REALLY LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR? IT IS GOD'S COMMANDMENT AND WE HAVE TO KEEP IT.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
