My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart, So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man(ことわざ 3:1-4)
Seated in the heavenly places
If you are born again in Christ, you are seated in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus and live in Him. When you stay in Him, in the Word of 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. のため 神の偉大な愛 for us, He gave us wisdom and insights through His Word in the spiritual realm.
いつ God gave the law to Moses, God made the invisible, visible, 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.
したがって, 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, act, while He was in heaven.
I speak that which I have seen with My Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father (ジョン 8:38)
What did Jesus have, what we don’t have?
What did Jesus have, what we don’t have? Exactly, 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 (マシュー 28:19, ルーク 24:47-48, マーク 16:15-18). It is time to show Him our love and obey His commandments.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusts in Thee (イザヤ書 26:3)
