« Enoch spent his life in walking in close fellowship with God, he had a reverent respect for the things of God, and lived in full obedience to Him. Then one day he disappeared, because God took him »
30 Moses, go and tell the Children of Israel, “Return to your tents.”
31 But you stand here with Me so I can give you all my commands, decrees, and regulations. You must teach them to the people so they can obey them in the land I am giving them as their possession.’”
32 So Moses told the people, “You must be careful to obey all the commands of the Lord your God, following His instructions in every detail.
33 Stay on the path that the Lord your God has commanded you to follow. Then you will live long and prosperous lives in the land you are about to enter and occupy.
Walking with God is highly rewarding when we are ready to pay the price.
Walking with God requires perfect obedience of His word.
Failure to do this brought calamity upon humanity in the garden of Eden.
The Bible in Genesis 2:16-17 NKJV says
« 16 And the Lord God commanded Adam, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” »
The first man and the first woman did not keep to these terms.
This is exactly what is still happening today.
People find it difficult to live by the letter of the Holy Bible, claiming it is old-fashioned.
The question is: What did God say concerning His word and the latter days? Matthew 5:18-19 NLT says:
« 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved. 19 So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. »
Beloved, walking with God requires your obedience in all the ways which the Lord has commanded us to.
Obedience to God’s commandments is vital to the peace and prosperity of His children.
This is why Deuteronomy 5:33 GWT says
« Follow all the directions the LORD your God has given you. Then you will continue to live, life will go well for you, and you will live for a long time in the land that you are going to possess »
Furthermore, Hebrews 13:8 CEV says
« Jesus Christ never changes! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever »
Beloved, do not believe those who say that any aspect of the laws and commandment of God is obsolete in this 21st century.
If you want to enjoy the wonderful benefits of walking with God in this world so that your eternity with God will be guaranteed, then you must do everything in your power to be obedient to all the commandments that Jesus teaches in the Bible.
