  • ten gospels

    Have you ever heard the 10 commandments of the laws of God described as the laws of love?

    Maybe you understood when the son of God ( Christ Jesus ) answered in Matthew 22:34-40 this question;

    “Teacher which is the great commandment in the law ? ”

    He says you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” This is the first and great commandment, and the second is like it: you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

    Did you know the first four commandments are about loving God, and the last six are about loving your neighbor?

    This is why the ten Gospels are also pointing to how all the law and the prophets are shared!

    Most understand the gospel is the story of God, the message of God’s love.

    The book I am linking here today is one I hope you will consider looking into today. It speaks to the truth of God’s Word and the whole matter like verses 40 in Matthew says.

    “On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

    Studying this will help us in the battle for truth.

    The final events in earths history is coming.

    You will be more prepared if you would only seek the truth of God’s Word. His greatest desire is to write this law of love on our hearts and minds!

    In Christ love, amen

    These are the books that I have been reading and want to encourage you to also read.

    You may be asking “what trumpet?”

    You can look up the verses in these books which I have linked so you can understand what I am referring to.

    • Psalms 81 God’s goodness- He rescues and saves.
    • Jeremiah 4 a loud warning to repent, destruction is coming.
    • 1 Corinthians 14 knowing the truth and sharing it for God.
    • 1 Corinthians 15 the last trumpet will be one that calls those who accept the Lord Jesus Christ and keep His commands.
    • Revelations 1 tells us that the trumpet is a voice from Heaven.
    • Revelations 4 The voice of the Lord in Heaven.

    Those who are called God’s children are to use their voices to share what God has done, through the saving grace of Jesus Christ the Son of God Lord and Savior.

    We are to use our voice (trumpets) to tell others about the gift of Salvation in Christ Jesus. We are told to warn others of the destruction coming to those outside of God’s will, they will have no protection.

    Serving yourself, means no protection.

    There is no peace to those who deny or refuse to give their lives to Christ. Instead there is swords of strife. This means God’s Word is like a sword to your conscious.

    To live for Christ is to give Him first place in our hearts. To accept that we are sinners in need of a perfect Savior, Christ Jesus the Lord and son of God.

    All of this is in the word of God.

    The Word is God and He is telling us that the great controversy at hand – the war between good and evil is coming to an end.

    A last “trumpet” is being sounded.

    We must pay attention – by reading His word He will prepare us for when the last trumpet does sound, this is when He will call the dead in Christ to be raised and all of those who are waiting on the Lords return, will be caught up with Him made incorruptible.

    And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

    This book is telling us to be ready – Jesus IS Coming!

    In Christ Love, Amen
