How am I adding scripture when its a quote from the Bible? If you look at God's 10 Commandments, He refers to them in His 10 commandments as My Commandments and that's how its referenced in both Old and New Testaments.What are "my commandments"? Why do you try to add to scripture something that is not there by indicating that "my commandments" is referring to the TEN commandments?
Exodus 20:4
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
Who does God show mercy to?
but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. (notice there is not an "or" love me or keep my commandments He uses love Me and keep My commandments)
There is a reoccurring theme in the Bible that references several times about Salvation, Tree of life and keeping The Commandments. You keep Gods law because He asked and you love Him and want to. It's not a burden but a blessing. Can you imagine how this world would be if everyone kept Gods law? Sort of like heaven.
