OBEY AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENT

Exodus 19:5-6

“‘Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you shall be a special people to Me above all nations; for all the earth is Mine. You shall be to Me a royal priesthood and a holy nation.’ These are the words you shall speak to the children of Israel.”

Personal Challenge

One thing about God is that He is consistent. He never changes nor is he affected by events or people in this world. He is a covenantal God. He always keeps His end of the contract. Jesus fulfilled the covenants of the Old testament and ushered in a new one. It is based on love and not law. Our responsibility under this new covenant is to love God and our neighbor. We are not to do this in word only but in our deeds. If our actions do not align with His expectations then we may be surprised at the result of using words only. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
