Scriptural Authority . . .

Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV)

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of

the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to

observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am

with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

Summary Of All The Commandments Of Jesus

This is His one commandment which summarizes all the others:

********************************************************

"This is my commandment, that you love one another

as I have loved you." (John 15:12 RSV)

********************************************************

Here is the way He arrived at this one summary verse.

JOHN 15:9-12 (RSV)

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in

my love.

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.

11

These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in

you, and that your joy may be full.

12

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I

have loved you.

_____________________________________________________________

This is not just one more commandment He added to a list. This one

commandment summarizes all the others: "Love one another as I have

loved you." "

NOTE: "Love one another" means "love all people," not just "love other

Christians."

Complete List Of The Commandments Of Jesus

Here, then, is the complete list of all the Commandments which Jesus

taught His disciples to observe, as I have found them recorded in the

four Gospels. They are organized into two groups: the Universal Moral

Law, and the Other Commandments Of Jesus.

A summary of each commandment is given first, then a detailed

explanation of each one, with Scriptural references.

It is always possible that I have overlooked a commandment or two. So

in order to make sure for yourself, please buy a Bible with the words of

Jesus written in red. Then read the red words first, and see for yourself!

As Jesus said, "the words I speak to you, they are spirit and they are

life." (John 6:63b KJV)

Detailed List Of The Commandments Of Jesus, With Scriptural

References

The Universal Moral Law

This is the Universal Moral Law regarding your relationship with your

Creator and with all other people on Earth. This law now applies to

all people in all situations.

There are three parts to the Universal Moral Law . . .

1. The Law Of Love

2. The Ten Commandments

3. The Golden Rule

THE LAW OF LOVE

"First, love God your Creator more than anything

else. Then, love all other people the same as you

love yourself."

(Based on Matthew 22:35-40, restated in Mark

12:28-31 and Luke 10:25-28. The idea of all people

as neighbors is explained in Luke 10:29-37)

"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord


10/38

[Type text]

10

thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,

and with all thy mind. This is the first and great

commandment." (Matthew 22:37-38 KJV)

"And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy

neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang

all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22:39-40 KJV)

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

Throughout the Old Testament, there are hundreds of

"commandments,"

covering all parts of life. Collectively, these make up "the Law" of

the Old Covenant.

However, one group of commandments is very special, and it is known

as

"the commandments." That is the Ten Commandments, dictated by

God,

written in stone, and given to all people forever. The people of

Israel placed The Ten Commandments first, separate and distinct

above

all others.

Most of The Law of the Old Covenant no longer applies to Christians

under the New Covenant (See Hebrews 8:13, etc.) However, the Ten

Commandments still apply, because they were ratified by Jesus in

Mark

10:19 and Luke 18:20 when He said, "You know the commandments."


12/38

[Type text]

12

The Ten Commandments are given in two different places in the Bible,

once in Exodus 20:1-17 and once in Deuteronomy 5:6-22. The content

is

the same in both places.

Here is the modern restatement of The Ten Commandments. After this

is

the translation of the original text.

The Ten Commandments: Modern Restatement

1. "Do not put anything ahead of God your Creator."

2. "Do not make or worship idols."

3. "Do not take the name of God in vain."

4. "Take one day of complete rest each week, in honor of God."

5. "Honor your father and your mother."

6. "Do not commit murder."

7. "Do not commit adultery."

8. "Do not steal."

9. "Do not tell lies against anyone."

10. "Do not covet other people's possessions."

(Based on Exodus 20:1-17, restated in


13/38

[Type text]

13

Deuteronomy 5:6-22. Jesus did not specifically

restate commandments 2, 3, 4 or 10, but it was

understood that He endorsed and followed all of the

Ten Commandments.)

EXODUS 20:1-17 (KJV)

The Ten Commandments

1

And God spake all these words, saying,

2

I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of

the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or

any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or

that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water

under the earth.

NOTE: "Graven images" here means idols, not all


14/38

[Type text]

14

drawings or statues, as some have mistakenly

believed. If statues were prohibited, then

the two angel statues on the Ark Of The

Covenant would have been prohibited.

(See Exodus 25:18-20)

5

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve

them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,

visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the

children unto the third and fourth generation of them

that hate me;

6

And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love

me, and keep my commandments.

7

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in

vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that

taketh his name in vain.

8

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.


15/38

[Type text]

9

Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10

But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy

God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy

son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy

maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is

within thy gates:

11

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the

sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh

day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and

hallowed it.

12

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may

be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth

thee.

13

Thou shalt not kill.

NOTE: This is a prohibition against private killing,


16/38

[Type text]

16

not against killing in war or as punishment for

breaking the law. God specifically authorized

killing in war (see Deuteronomy 7:2, etc.)

and killing as punishment for certain crimes

(see Deuteronomy 13:9, etc.)

14

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15

Thou shalt not steal.

16

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy

neighbour.

17

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou

shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his

manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his

ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

"And all the people saw the thunderings, and the

lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the

17

mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they

removed, and stood afar off." (Exodus 20:18 KJV)

THE GOLDEN RULE

"Treat Others As You Would Like To Be Treated."

(Based on Matthew 7:12, restated in Luke 6:31)

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men

should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is

the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12 KJV)

The Other Commandments Of Jesus

1. "FORGIVE EVERYBODY OF ALL THEIR OFFENSES AGAINST

YOU."

(Forgive, and be forgiven.)

As you forgive other people, God will forgive you.

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our

debtors." (Matthew 6:12 KJV)

"And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have

ought against any: that your Father also which

in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

"But if ye do not forgive, neither will your

Father which is in heaven forgive your

trespasses." (Mark 11:25-26 KJV)

2. "YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN."

Being "born again" means casting off the spirit of the

flesh and taking on the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit,

Who is given by the grace of God to those who believe

in Jesus Christ as the only-begotten Son of God, risen


19/38

[Type text]

19

from the dead.

"Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born

again." (John 3:7 KJV)

3. "ABIDE IN ME, AND LET ME ABIDE IN YOU."

When you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour,

His Holy Spirit moves into your heart. He actually lives

in you, and you live in Him.

"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear

fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more

can ye, except ye abide in me." (John 15:4 KJV)

4. "LET PEOPLE SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS." (Do not hide your light

under a basket.)

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see

see your good works, and glorify your Father which is

in heaven." (Matthew 5:16 KJV; see also Matthew 5:15)

5. "END DISPUTES QUICKLY."

"Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art


20/38

20

in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary

deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee

to the officer, and thou be cast into prison."

(Matthew 5:25 KJV)

6. "WHATEVER CAUSES YOU TO SIN, GET RID OF IT."

"And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and

cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that

one of thy members should perish, and not that thy

whole body should be cast into hell.

"And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and

cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that

one of thy members should perish, and not that thy

whole body should be cast into hell."

(Matthew 5:29-30 KJV)

7. "DO NOT SWEAR OATHS AT ALL."

"But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by

heaven; for it is God's throne:

"Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by

Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.


21/38

21

"Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou

canst not make one hair white or black.

"But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay:

for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."


8. "DO NOT RETURN OFFENSE FOR OFFENSE." (Turn the other

cheek.)

eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

"But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but

whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn

to him the other also."


9. "GIVE WHAT PEOPLE ASK OF YOU, AND GIVE MORE THAN IS

REQUIRED."

(Go the extra mile.)

away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

"And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with

him twain.

"Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would

borrow of thee turn not thou away."


10. "LOVE YOUR ENEMIES AND THOSE WHO WORK AGAINST

YOU."

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them

that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and

pray for them which despitefully use you, and

persecute you;

"That ye may be the children of your Father which is


23/38

[Type text]

23

in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil

and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on

the unjust."


11. "GIVE TO THE POOR TO PLEASE GOD, NOT TO GAIN

APPROVAL

FROM OTHER PEOPLE."

"Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to

be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your

Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 6:1 KJV)

12. "PRAY PRIVATELY AND SIMPLY, NOT TO IMPRESS OTHER

PEOPLE."

"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are:

for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the

corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I

say unto you, They have their reward.

"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when

thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret;


24/38

[Type text]

24

and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

"But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:

for they think that they shall be heard for their much

speaking."

(Matthew 6:5-7 KJV)

13. "MAKE YOUR PRAYERS BE LIKE THE LORD'S PRAYER."

After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done in earth,

As it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

As we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil:


25/38

[Type text]

25

For thine is the kingdom,

And the power,

And the glory,

For ever.

Amen.


14. "WHEN YOU FAST, DO IT SECRETLY, NOT FOR SHOW."

"Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad

countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may

appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their

reward." (Matthew 6:16)

15. "STORE UP YOUR TREASURES IN HEAVEN, NOT ON EARTH."

"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and

rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

"But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither

moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break


26/38

[Type text]

26

through nor steal:

"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

(Matthew 6:19-21)

16. "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR MATERIAL NEEDS."

"Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what

ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body,

what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the

body than raiment?

"Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they

reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth

them. Are ye not much better than they?"


17. "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE."

"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall

take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day

is the evil thereof." (Matthew 6:34 KJV)

ALL YOUR NEEDS."

righteousness; and all these things shall be

added unto you." (Matthew 6:33 KJV)

judged.)

"Judge not, that ye be not judged.

"For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with

what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."

(Matthew 7:1-2 KJV)

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and

said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first

cast a stone at her. (John 8:7 KJV)

20. "DO NOT GIVE HOLY THINGS TO DOGS OR CAST YOUR

PEARLS


28/38

BEFORE SWINE."

"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye

your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under

their feet, and turn again and rend you."

(Matthew 7:6 KJV)

and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

"Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I

was in prison, and ye came unto me.


23. "FOLLOW THE NARROW PATH TO LIFE." (Enter by the narrow

gate.)

The wide gate is the gate you simply stumble through, when you

are not paying attention.

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad

is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be

which go in thereat:

"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which

leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

or two more, that in the mouth of two or three

witnesses every word may be established.

"And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto

the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let

him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican."


29. "DO NOT OPPOSE OTHER BELIEVERS IN CHRIST WHO ARE

NOT IN YOUR

GROUP."

"And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one

casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not

us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly

God.

"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say

unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast

into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but

shall believe that those things which he saith shall

come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them,

and ye shall have them."

(Mark 11:22-24 KJV)

34/38

[Type text]

34

(See Luke 10:30-35)

32. "LOVE OTHER PEOPLE AS I HAVE LOVED YOU"

"This is my commandment, That ye love one another,

as I have loved you." (John 15:12 KJV)

NOTE: This one commandment summarizes

all the others.

33. "EAT BREAD AND DRINK WINE IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME."

"And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and

gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given

for you: do this in remembrance of me. Likewise also

the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new

testament in my blood, which is shed for you."

(Luke 22:19-20 KJV)

34. "WASH ONE ANOTHER'S FEET."


35/38

[Type text]

35

The full meaning of this dramatic command is for us

to care for each other's needs as if they were our own.

He also wants us literally to wash each other's feet.

"If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye

also ought to wash one another's feet." (John 13:14 KJV)

35. "BE MERCIFUL."

(Luke 6:35b KJV)

36. "GO AND TEACH ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM."

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the

name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

May the Lord bless this presentation of His holy Word.

Amen.

Jesus Can Become Your Lord Right Now!

Beloved, you have now finished reading The Commandments Of Jesus.

You now know what Jesus really teaches. If you love His teaching, you

will love Him even more personally. You can have Him personally,

dwelling inside you as your own personal Lord and Saviour, with you all

the time. This is called "Salvation," or "being saved," or being "born

again."

The Scriptural requirements for Salvation are set forth in Romans 10:9.

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and

shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the

dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9 KJV)


37/38

[Type text]

37

Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is your personal Lord, and

believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead: that's all it

takes to gain Salvation.

If any person prays this prayer out loud, sincerely believing these words,

he has met the scriptural requirements for salvation. Jesus Christ will

then come into his life as Lord and Saviour, as He promised.

"Personal Prayer Of Salvation"O Lord, I know that You are waiting here,

For me to let You come into my life.

I know that You are knocking on the door,

And now I pray that You will enter in.

* * *

I pray that You will come into my life,

As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me.

I know that You are truly Son of God,

I know that You have risen from the dead,

I know that only You can save my soul.

I need Your guidance, and I need Your love;

I want to follow everywhere You lead.

38

I truly do repent of all my sins;

I feel remorse for evil I have done;

I know that only You can make me clean.

I turn my back on sin and look to You.

I am forgiving all who did me harm,

As You are now forgiving all my sins.

And now as I commit myself to You,

I pray that You commit Yourself to me.

I pray that You will take me as I am,

And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.

In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.
