Jacob,
By God's commandments, do you mean the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus which makes one free from the law of sin and death?
Romans: 8 KJV N.T.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
The above is the New covenant. This is righteousness of God that is without the ten commandments:
Romans: 3 King James Version (KJV)
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Is the above your commandment from God? Are you into righteousness of God that is without obligation to the ten commandments?
Or are you still under the old flawed covenant, i.e. the ten commandments which killeth?
You do know that 2000 odd years ago those guys found that the tenth commandment of the ten commandments (i.e. the thou shall not covert commandment), killeth?
Since then the ten commandments are called the laws of sin and death. And only 'the dead who want to bury their dead' esteem, use, promote and/or invoke the ten commandments.
Romans: 7 KJV N.T.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
You do know that Jesus had two agendas as follows:
Matthews: 8 KJV N.T.
22 But Jesus said unto him, 1. Follow me; and 2. let the dead bury their dead.
As it turn out those who 1. follow Jesus embrace:
Romans: 8 KJV N.T.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
However, 2. 'the dead who bury their dead' esteem, use, promote and invoke the ten commandments.
Which covenant are you into? Are you a believer and follower of Jesus or are you one of the dead who bury their dead?
Acts: 13 King James Version (KJV)
39 And by him all that believe (Believers) are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
When you love, do you transgress the ten commandments freely, so as to obey love's urging, unconditionally?
More precisely when you love, do you transgress the 'thou shall not covert' commandments so as to unconditionally obey love's urging? This is the only way to bring forth only children of God, like Issac. This is the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus which makes one free from the law of sin and death.
Or do you remain in a loveless relationship, because you esteem, use, promote and invoke the 'thou shall not covert' commandment. If you do this latter thing and you procreate in that union, you will bring forth only children of the flesh, like Ishmael. This is life of 'the dead burying their dead'.
It is not about 'old talk' and parroting slogans and scriptures. It is about works. It is about what you soweth
Galatians: 6 King James Version (KJV)
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting
If you soweth to the ten commandments you reap sin, death and delivery into hell inside the depths of earth with Satan. And while you live you bring forth only fruits onto death, including only children of the flesh.
If, on the other hand, you soweth to the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus which makes you free from the law of sin and death, you reap ever lasting life and delivery into God's kingdom of heaven. And while you live you bring forth only fruits onto God, including only children of God.
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus is: you transgress the ten commandments so as to unconditionally obey precisely what the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth/Spirit of Intercession/ Spirit of Love has in mind for you to know, pray for, say and do as discerned within your own heart or spirit. This is also called, 'obedience onto righteousness'.
