If you are reading this article you are probably thinking this topic seems quite familiar. That is because it is. I removed this section from a previous Article, where I went over the story of the Adulterous Woman. I had added this section into that Article yet later realized that it did not feel really fit into that Article. Now you are probably also wondering why I have the Title of this Article as the 'Eleven Commandments' that is what we will be going over, but first we have to lay down some ground work to explain out the 'Eleven Commandments'. 22 For Jehovah is our Judge, Jehovah is out Lawgiver, Jehovah is our King; He is the One who will save us.
Here is the first passage that we will be going over. We read three Titles of Authority that are said of Jehovah God. The main one we will be focusing on is The Lawgiver. Now let's back track.
2 You must not add to the word that I am commanding you, neither must you take away from it, so as to keep the commandments of Jehovah your God that I am commanding you.
It seems pretty simple, God says you can't add or take away from God's commandments and follow them. Now let's go forward to the New Testament and see what happens.
34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also love one another. Oh wow, Christ added to the commandments that the Apostles needed to follow. How could He have such authority to added to the Commandments saying that doing this very thing is so important that it is worthy to be added to the other Ten Commandments. He called it a Commandment, not just any other law. I went over this before but the reason Christ has this authority to add to The Commandments. He gave the original Commandments to Moses in the Old Testament. He was the Lord/ Jehovah God who has authority to give and add or subtract from the Laws. Hence this is where I get the Title of this Article. Christ gave the Eleventh Commandment on the night when the Last Supper occurred.
"The LORD bless you
and keep you;
the LORD make His face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn His face toward you
and give you peace." ☦
