During the time of Moses there were the ten commandments as well as about six hundred laws which the Israelites followed. You only have to read Leviticus to see how onerous these laws were. But there was a reason for all of these laws and you have to take into the lifestyle of being in a desert for forty years.
Most of the laws of Leviticus were simply to keep the people alive.
When Adam sinned, he separated us from the love of GOD. Until that point, we would have remained living in the garden of Eden. But we were banished and we are, unfortunately all sinners. We are born to sin and unless we accept Jesus, we will die from sin.
So Jesus came to earth, to give us a new covenant. That covenant is simple. Admit that we are sinners. Believe in Jesus as our Lord and Saviour and confess with our mouths that Jesus is the only way to an eternal life with GOD in Heaven.
Today, if you have not done so or are thinking about it, do not hesitate, accept the Lord Jesus into your life. Invite Him to come and live in your heart.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for the new covenant. I know it does not do away with the ten commandments, but it does cover me under YOUR grace. I thank you for Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Saviour. Amen.
Stay truly GOD blessed today!
