Obeying or Breaking God's Commandments—

&
1,050 New Testament Commandments

"The consequences of Practicing or Teaching disobedience of any of God's Word is to be called LEAST in the Kingdom of Heaven (1 Cor 3:15). Determining rank in the Kingdom of Heaven is entirely God's prerogative (Matt 20:20-28), and Jesus declares that He will hold those in lowest esteem who hold His Word in low esteem. There is no impunity (free from punishment) for Believers who: Disobey, Discredit, or Belittle God's Law (God's Word)—see 2 Cor 5:10 below. That Jesus does not refer to loss of salvation is clear from the fact, that though offenders will be called least, they will still be in the Kingdom of Heaven. The positive result is that whoever keeps and teaches God's Word, he shall be called GREAT in the Kingdom of Heaven. Here again Jesus mentions the two aspects of doing and teaching. Kingdom citizens are to uphold every part of God's Laws (God's Word) both in their living and in their teaching."

(Above paragraph is taken from: The John MacArthur Study Bible)

There are over 1,050 commands given in the New Testament - "Husband's love your wives", etc. Let us not minimize any of God's Word & His commands, but instead let us strive to run our race (with God's Grace) in such a way that we highly esteem, listen, study, and obey all of God's Word, and then turn around and teach God's Commandments & His Word to all. We will be Judged on what we did and didn't do in God's Word.

This commentary is about Holiness & Sanctification for a True Believer in Jesus Christ— this is not a commentary on how to be Saved from Hell. (Eph. 2:9-10)

1 John 2:3-6 "And we can be sure that we know Him if we obey His Commandments. If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s Commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love Him. That is how we know we are living in Him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did."

1 Cor 3:10-15 "Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ. Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials—gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. But on the Judgment Day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value. If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward. But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames."

2 Cor 5:10-11 "For we must all stand before Christ to be Judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body. Because we understand our fearful responsibility to the Lord, we work hard to persuade others. God knows we are sincere, and I hope you know this, too."
