My seun, vergeet nie my wet nie; maar laat jou hart my gebooie bewaar: Vir lengte van dae, En lang lewe, en vrede, Sal hulle by jou voeg. Laat barmhartigheid en waarheid jou nie verlaat nie: bind hulle om jou nek; skryf dit op die tafel van jou hart, So sal jy guns en goeie verstand vind in die oë van God en mense(Spreuke 3:1-4)
Sit in die hemelse plekke
As u weer in Christus gebore word, jy sit in die hemelse plekke, in Christ Jesus and live in Him. When you stay in Him, in die Woord van God, then you will understand, why God gave us His commandments. God is the Creator of all things and He knows what is going on in the spiritual realm. As gevolg van God se groot liefde vir ons, He gave us wisdom and insights through His Word in the spiritual realm.
Wanneer God gave the law to Moses, God made the invisible, Sigbaar, through His commandments.
No person was able to keep the whole law, except one and that is Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ was full of the Holy Spirit. He came in the flesh, except He was not born of the evil seed of Adam, but of the holy seed of God.
But Jesus Christ came in the flesh and was fully Human, just like you and me, and He was able to sin.
Daarom, the devil tried to tempt Jesus during His life. But Jesus loved His Father and because of that Jesus stayed obedient to His Father and wanted to please His Father.
Jesus knew His Father, He understood the spiritual laws. That’s why Jesusobeyed the commandments of God. Jesus had seen the Father work, Wet, while He was in heaven.
Ek speak that which I have seen with My Father: en julle doen wat julle by julle vader gesien het (John 8:38)
What did Jesus have, what we don’t have?
What did Jesus have, what we don’t have? Presies, nothing. We have everything, what Jesus had; we live in a flesh, and we are filled with the Holy Spirit. As the Father was in Jesus, and He in Him, so is the Father in us, and we in Him, and so is Jesus in us, and we in Him.
We are united with each other. We have no excuse anymore, to not do the works of Jesus Christ and not do what Jesus has commanded us to do (Matteus 28:19, Lukas 24:47-48, Merk 16:15-18). It is time to show Him our love and gehoorsaam Sy gebooie.
When you walk on the path of (Ewige) lewe, your days will be lengthened and you shall have a long life in vrede.
Your mind will be in perfect peace. Geen bekommernisse nie, no fears, no anxieties, none of that will enter your life and take possession of your mind and life.
When you keep and obey His commandments your mind will be in perfect peace.
U sal hom in perfekte vrede hou, wie se gedagtes op jou bly: Omdat hy op u vertrou (Jesaja 26:3)
Let not mercy and truth forsake you
The mercy of God will flow out of you and you will walk in truth. You will treat other people, die manier waarop jy behandel wil word. Because God wants you to love your neighbours as yourself (Lees ook: ‘Wat beteken dit om jou naaste soos jouself lief te hê?).
You will speak and walk in the truth, because God wants you to walk in the truth. He is your Father and if you love Him you will obey Him and keep His commandments (Lees ook: ‘Die gebooie van God en die gebooie van Jesus Christus').
When mercy and truth are in you; is settled in your heart and you will act on these, then you will find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
