When Moses descended from mount Sinai he carried the 10 commandments, the law that we all were judged by.
The purpose was to point us to God, since no one can follow the law to perfection we need to turn to God for our Salvation. Inevitably man has attempted to reinterpret the law to diminish its intent and find a way around the law.
In Matthew 22:37 Jesus cuts the law down to the bone when He is asked, “What is the Greatest Commandment?” He replies, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[b] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[c] 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
God has done everything to foster clear, simple, straightforward relationship with us and that is what He wants. Think for a moment of some of the things He has done for us. He has created the perfect environment for us to live in. He has sent Angles and plagues to express His Joy and dissatisfaction with His children. Incredible signs and wonders, parting seas, towers of fire from the heavens, manna in the middle of a desert.
The greatest sign was in sending Jesus; He not only came to Earth as a man to talk to us and teach us but ultimately to die in our place for our sin. Imagine a judge taking the place of a guilty man in the electric chair.
What more does God have to do for us to understand that He loves us and has forgiven us of our sins and now wants to reconnect with us, His children.
Clear your schedule and make some time for God this week. He is waiting to pour out all the love He has on you!
Have an amazing week, See you in Church
