Jesus is God which is why God’s laws are the laws of Christ. There is no conflict between Jesus and God on the laws. We fulfill these laws of love, though our obedience. Let’s take a look:
God said right in the Ten Commandments:
Exodus 20:6 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who l
ove Me and
keep My commandments.
Jesus said verbatim
John 14:15 If you
love Me, keep
My commandments.
John 15:10 If you keep
My commandments, you will abide in
My love, just as I have kept
My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
This idea that Jesus and God’s laws are different is not biblical. Jesus came to be our example and He kept the commandments as our example, to claim that Jesus kept them only for Himself and we are to do something different, makes Jesus a hypocrite and I will never buy into that when we have so much sound biblical scripture. God’s commandments came in a covenant of Ten, not nine Exodus 34:28 and they were written by the finger of God!
Jesus did not come to do His will but the will of God :
For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
John 6:38. God and Jesus are not at odds with each other as they are One.
Jesus did not come to destroy the law of God, breaking the least of the commandments and teaching others has some consequences.
Matthew 5:17-20
Jesus was asked which commandments should we keep and He quoted directly from the Ten Commandments:
Matthew 19:17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one
is good but One,
that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
18 He said to Him, “
Which ones?”
Jesus said, “‘
You shall not murder,’ ‘
You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘
You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ 19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and,‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”. (One of the greatest commandments quoted from the old testament that sums up the Ten and fulfilled by love through obedience to them)
James tells us you break one of the commandments of God is like breaking them all quoting directly from the Ten Commandments. 2:10For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one
point, he is guilty of all. 11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
Right before the Revelation of Jesus Christ:
Revelation 22:14 Blessed
are those who
do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 But
outside are dogs and
sorcerers and
sexually immoral and
murderersand
idolaters, and whoever l
oves and practices a lie.
1 John 2: 3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6
He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
Jesus kept the commandments as our example, this teaching that we should not do what Jesus did as our example is not biblical. Jesus kept the Sabbath His whole life as our example. Luke 4:16
There are some people who leave the Adventists church, it happens in every church. More people end up joining each year and is one of the fastest growing churches. You don’t have to be a SDA to keep the 4th commandment.
God bless
