Why Did Christ Give Us Commandments?

Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Many people nowadays don't know or understand why God gave us commands. However, if you understand His will behind His commands then it is much easier to obey our God. Some people may say that God's commands are too difficult or too hard to keep. Do you think? Let's see what the bible says...

Deuteronomy 30:11 "Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach."

See, God knew people would say that. So why did He give us commands? This is the best part.

Deuteronomy 30:16 "For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees, and laws..."

Matthew 22:37 Jesus replied, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."

God wants us to love Him. He even commands us to do so. Can God benefit from your love? Can any of us do anything for God? Of course not. Then what's the purpose? Its for YOU.

1 Corinthian 2:9 However, as it is written "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him."

Our minds cannot even begin to imagine what God has prepared for us! He gave us his commands so that we may love Him and in doing so God can give us things we can't even fathom! The Heavenly Kingdom is waiting for those who love God and obey His commands. For this I give all thanks to Christ Ahnsahnghong for having taught us the true commands of God. The children that obey God AhnSahngHong and his commands will receive everything He has prepared for us.
