The Commandments of Christ

PROVE YOURSELVES DOERS OF THE WORD

This book summarizes the commandments of Christ (and the instructions of His apostles) as given in the New Testament—which are our instruction manual for Godly living. It is written to (and for) the born-again Christian who desires to be obedient to the Word of God, abound in good works, and bear fruit for the Lord while being a kingdom builder for Christ. To be obedient, we must know what Jesus’ commands are. Most people (even non-Christians) can recite the two most important commandments given by Jesus:

• Love God
• Love others as yourself

However, the commandments of Christ (and the instructions of His apostles) go far beyond those two general laws, and they offer us much more detail on what Christ expects from those who call on His holy name:

• Forgive others as you were forgiven,
• Do not judge others,
• Do not commit adultery,
• Let your light shine before others,
• Love and pray for your enemies,
• Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s,
• Go into all the world and preach the Gospel,
• Do this in remembrance of Me (the Lord’s Supper),
• And many more…

Come along as we study New Testament Scripture and review Jesus’ instructions to the saints, as we serve the Lord “in spirit and truth” (John 4:24) and as we act in obedience to Christ.

By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked. – 1 John 2:3–6
