Hymn 47:  The Standard is Obedience  - Singleton

Message – Sydney  

Hymn 83:  The Truth will be Shown  - Singleton

·        God gave Israel full instructions for the Lifestyle He wanted them to follow; this was summarised in the Ten Commandments; 

·        Jesus endorsed this same set of instructions as still being the way that people should seek to live, but couched them in a Spirit of love rather than legalism;

·        Jesus pointed out to the young man that to keep the commandments requires more than compliance with a set of instructions – they need to be obeyed through love for God and our neighbour;

·        Jesus also explained that God will send Power through Christ and the Holy Ghost that will enable people to obey His commandments with the right attitude;

·        Let each seek to God to join the Law and Gospel in us as we wait to be changed wholly in spirit and soul and body at Jesus Christ’s return.
