 'He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die' (Proverbs 19:16).

The Bible says, 'If you love me, keep my commandments' (John 14:15). All who keep the commandments of God will have eternal life with Christ. This is the whole duty of man to fear God and keep his commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13). The commandments will not save us, but points us to the One who can. For those who despised the way of the Lord; doesn't seem to care in which way they walk, but chose to walk in the ways of their own heart, and seek to do evil will die. Such people shall die the second death, which Christ himself took for all at Calvary to save us. Obedience to God's Word and command will guard and keep our lives; it will protect and keep us from eternal death. It is God who direct the affairs of our lives, and his desire is for us to reverence and to be loyal to him. Therefore it behoves us to keep His commandments and do His will. Let us purpose in our hearts to keep God's law, so we can live longer, spending eternity with Christ, when he returns. As a loving Father, God has given us his commandment to protect  us from ourselves and to guide and help us to know right from wrong. Sin cause us to be separated from God, but the blood of Jesus reconciled us back to him. When by faith we accept Christ Jesus as our personal Saviour from sin, we then have access to the Father. He blesses us as we walk in total obedience to Him, as we choose to obey his commands and walk in His everlasting love. Keeping God's command means we keep our own soul. Learn to love God because He is love, and by loving Him we will keep his commandment and live a life of abundance, as we seek to fellowship and walk in His ways.

Have a wonderful day

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
