One of the core practices of religion is keeping the rituals and doctrines of that religion. As believers in Jesus, we need to keep His commandments if we want to be true followers of His. The commandments of God are the carriers of God's will and purposes. When we desire to do the will of God we must be determined to keep His commandments. We can claim to be doing God's commandments when we live in absolute disobedience to His will. Let us know that mouth talk won't make us those who do God’s will, we must obey His commandments.
John 8:31-32 (KJV) Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
According to Bro Eli Soriano, we must understand the commandments of God so that we must be able to do them. How will you obey what you do not have knowledge of? That won't be possible. Let us seek to study and understand the commandments of God.
The commandments of God are primarily given to us in the Bible. When we read our Bibles regularly, we will be exposed to the commandments of God. We will be informed of the doctrines of Jesus Christ through studying the Word of God.
Listening to truthful teachings of God also helps us to understand what the commandments of God are. The Mass Indoctrination sessions of the MCGI is one good avenue to hear what the doctrines and God's commandments are for us in this church era. The teachings which I have learnt from Bro Eli Soriano during the Mass Indoctrination are as they are written in the Bible. We should willingly listen to sound doctrines from those who teach just the truth from the Bible.
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.
