Marriage Under Threat: Jesus expects us to teach EVERYTHING He commanded us. How many commands is that? (successful-marriage.blogspot.com) TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2020

Jesus expects us to teach EVERYTHING He commanded us. How many commands is that?

Jesus’ Commands to His People

Jesus expects His people to pass all of His commands on to others:

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 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.  Matthew 28:18-20

We must know Jesus’ commands to teach them.  We must also consent to all of His words:

If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.  I Timothy 6:3-5

We must obey His commands.  Setting an example of obedience is the best way to teach about His love:

If ye love me, keep my commandments.  John 14:15

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.  John 15:10

And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?  Luke 6:46

The Old Testament commanded Jews to love each other including non-Jews who lived among them:

Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.  Leviticus 19:18

But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.  Leviticus 19:34

And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour;  Zachariah 8:17

The New Testament teaches that we who follow Christ must love each other.  How is that new?

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.  John 13:34-35

Is Jesus’ command to love one another new because we’re supposed to model our love on Christ’s love for us which is different from God’s love of the world?

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.  John 15:12

These things I command you, that ye love one another.  John 15:17

Is it new because we must love far-away lost people enough to sacrifice time, talent, and treasure to “teach all nations” instead of just loving those who are nearby?  Or is it new because Jesus redefined love as He redefined adultery?  John reminds us that the command to love goes back to Leviticus:

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.  I John 3:11

He also explains why Jesus’ command to love is new:

Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.  I John 2:7-9

When we model our love of others on Christ’s love for us, we cast darkness aside and walk in the light.  If we hate others, if we fail in love, we remain in darkness.  We must love others fervently enough to teach all nations whatsoever Jesus commanded us. The first step in obeying His commands is to know what they are.

Rationale

Moses’ law was given for good:

And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?  Deuteronomy 10:12-13

For generations, people had to obey God’s laws purely by faith.  We now know that washing hands before meals, circumcision, cleaning mold out of our houses, and sweeping leaven and other crumbs out of houses in the spring when rats and mice are breeding give health benefits unto this day.  Even though Moses’ law has no spiritual significance for Christians, we follow many parts of Moses’ law because they’re “for thy good.”

Hospital-acquired infections are a leading cause of death in modern nations and the largest cause of infections is medical staff not washing between patients.  Would doctors be more faithful if they thought washing was a command of a Holy God as opposed to mere scientific necessity?

The obvious benefits of the subset of the 613 Old Testament laws which we follow unto this day coupled with Jesus’ command to teach all of His commands motivated this collection of New Testament commands.

Methodology

The next sections list commands from each book of the New Testament.  It may not be complete and may include verses which aren’t commands.  Please let me know of errors or omissions.

The list does not include commands directed specifically to individuals or churches as in the book of Revelation, but includes commands in Revelation which direct to us to hear what the spirit says to the churches.

Each command is underlined.  For example, Matthew 5:44 has 4 underlinings because it gives 4 separate commands.  There are more than 970 underlinings including duplications.  For example, the phrase “let him hear” appears 16 times and “love one another” 12 times.  “Follow me” appears 18 times in the NT, but is not included when directed to specific individuals as in Matthew 4:19, 8:22, and 9:9.

Matthew

And saying, Repent ye

: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.  Matthew 3:2Bring forth therefore fruits

 meet for repentance:  Matthew 3:8Let your light so shine before men

, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.  Matthew 5:16

Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother

, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree with thine adversary quickly

, whiles thou art 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 5:23-25

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

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. 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.  Matthew 5:34-37

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. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take 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

.  Matthew 5:39-42

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;  Matthew 5:44Be ye therefore perfect

, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.  Matthew 5:48

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

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret

; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.  Matthew 6:6After this manner therefore pray ye

: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.  Matthew 6:9 see 6:9-15

But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face

; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.  Matthew 6:17-18Lay 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 through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.  Matthew 6:19-21

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?  Matthew 6:25

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat

? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?  Matthew 6:31

But seek ye first the kingdom of God

, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  Matthew 6:33Take 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 6:34Judge 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 7:1-2see also I John 4:1Give 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 7:6Ask, and it shall be given you

; seek, and ye shall find

; knock, and it shall be opened unto you

:  Matthew 7:7

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 7:12Enter 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.  Matthew 7:13-14Beware of false prophets

, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?  Matthew 7:15-16

But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth

, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.  Matthew 9:12-13see alsoHosea 6:6

Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest

, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.  Matthew 9:37-38

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear

.  Matthew 11:15Come unto me

, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you

, and learn of me

; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.  Matthew 11:28-30

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment

. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.  Matthew 12:36-37

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear

.  Matthew 13:9

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear

.  Matthew 13:43

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him

.  Matthew 17:5

Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone

: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one 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

.  Matthew 18:15-17

Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven

.  Matthew 18:21-22

So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not

 every one his brother their trespasses.  Matthew 18:35

But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister

; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant

: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.  Matthew 20:26-28

They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s

.  Matthew 22:21

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God

 with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. 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 22:37-40

But be not ye called Rabbi

: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth

: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters

: for one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant

.  Matthew 23:8-11Watch therefore

: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.  Matthew 24:42

Therefore be ye also ready

: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.  Matthew 24:44Watch therefore

, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.  Matthew 25:13

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 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.  Matthew 28:18-20

: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out

: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.  Mark 9:45-48

But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. But so shall it not be among you

; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also

. Give to every man that asketh of thee

; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again

. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them

 likewise.  Luke 6:27-31

But love ye your enemies

, and do good

, and lend

, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful

, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not

, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not

, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive

, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words

Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men

, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.  Luke 12:8-9

Until later, 12:54  And he said also to the people …  We should absorb 22-53 regardless.

, and come after me

, cannot be my disciple.  Luke 14:26-27

So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath

, he cannot be my disciple.  Luke 14:33

Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear

.  Luke 14:34-35

And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness

These things I command you, that ye love one another
