'You Know the Commandments!' - Mark 10:19

[Jesus continued,] "But to answer your question [about eternal life], you know the commandments: 'You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother.'"

—Mark 10:19 NLT

Key Thought


Do you know the commandments? Do you know the core teachings of God's morality? If not, why not review them today. They can be found in Exodus 20. While we are not under law but under grace, we are reminded that grace and the power of the Holy Spirit help us to be what we could never be under law — people who live so that all aspects of our lives are pleasing to God.

Today's Prayer


O holy and righteous Father, conform me to your character and write your will on my heart so that I can display it in my daily life. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

A true and sincere Christian should obey all the commandments of the Lord. If anyone does not that, then He is lukewarm Christian and needs to be reconciled with the Lord and obey His word. Lord Jesus, please, help us to obey your word and do what You told us to do. Amen
