Do we really need Christian commandments, or do we need a personal relationship with God? If the answer is Christian commandments, then we're in big trouble, since the body of Christ can't seem to agree on what they actually are. These are some serious questions that many are struggling to answer.

Jesus Christ gave us a big clue in this discourse with the religious leaders of His day:

Mat 22:35-40 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 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.

If you love the Lord with all thy heart and all thy soul and all thy mind, you will not need the Ten Commandments. If you love your neighbor as yourself, you will not be stealing from them, coveting their wives or sleeping with them, lying to them or about them, etc. Would you do those things to yourself?

Love the Lord thy God...

It's extremely difficult to fall in love with someone who calls you a lying, adulterous thief, right? (read more) So forget what you've been told by old-time-religion preachers and learn to love God by discovering how much He loves you. Once you understand His love for you, you will love Him back.

Open your Bible and ask Him specifically for the truth about Him. You will understand that the Christian commandments are completely about love. Love God, let Him lead. Walk in the spirit and that will take care of the list of things to do and the list of things not to do.

Mar 12:29-34 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

Notice the one who understood was not far from the kingdom of God. Do you want to be near the kingdom of God or do you want your list of Christian commandments? Read Galatians, chapter 3. This chapter brings frightening truth to Christians who refuse to let go of the law.

Gal 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
