- Well then, since God’s grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not!
- Remember, you must not make any idols of silver or gold to rival me.
- As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.”
- And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
- We all come to the end of our lives as naked and empty-handed as on the day we were born. We can’t take our riches with us.
- All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet:
“Look! The virgin will conceive a child!
She will give birth to a son,
and they will call him Immanuel,
which means ‘God is with us.’” - O Lord, if you heal me, I will be truly healed;
if you save me, I will be truly saved.
My praises are for you alone! - But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say,
‘People do not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” - If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you the seasonal rains. The land will then yield its crops, and the trees of the field will produce their fruit.
- The Lord your God will bless you as he has promised. You will lend money to many nations but will never need to borrow. You will rule many nations, but they will not rule over you.
- But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
- A newly married man must not be drafted into the army or be given any other official responsibilities. He must be free to spend one year at home, bringing happiness to the wife he has married.
- For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
- Yes, God will bless us,
and people all over the world will fear him. - You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
- All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).
- Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.
- And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.
- You must serve only the Lord your God. If you do, I will bless you with food and water, and I will protect you from illness.
- The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.
- For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son.
- You must keep my Sabbath days of rest and show reverence for my sanctuary. I am the Lord.
- The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams. - Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever. - Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.
