Commands

How many commands have you broken?

There possibly are quite a 

few commands which

we have received

within our lives.

Some of the commands

which we may have received

though we may not quite take 

as a command, or

understand that it was 

an actual command.

In peoples' careers or places

of employment, sometimes

a command is given to

an employee and it may

not be seen as such

or taken as a request 

or suggestion.

There are also those

who are in authority, such as 

politicians or those within the military

who also give commands, but these

expect to be obeyed.

Which of course they 

should be, and unless

the individual wishes to

be reprimanded in 

some way, their commands 

are followed.

Why though within

the Church do some not 

then follow the same 

example, as for

example soldiers who

follow their commanding officers'

commands as they are given.

This of course does not

refer to members of the 

congregation blindly 

following commands of 

those placed above them.

Though they should be respected,

yet they are human and their 

commands will not always

be correct or even in

the plans of God.

The commands we should follow 

are those given by Jesus,

and what we read within

the Word of God.

There are many commands 

given within the bible, the

question that we always need to

ask is, which ones still

now apply to us?

This is something which, for

some of the commands can for

some, be quite difficult to understand.

As they are relevant for

the children of Israel in the

Old Testament.

Yet are they relevant to

us now?

Some of course are

and yet some through

the death and resurrection 

of Jesus, now are not.

With all such things, it is

necessary to read, study

the bible and then pray and

seek God with each individual

thing you read.

Then follow what you believe 

to be right.
