“Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and
shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:
but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in
the kingdom of heaven.” Verse 19.
6. What did Christ tell the rich young man to do in order to enter into
life?
“If thou wilt enter into life, _keep the commandments_.” Matt. 19:17.
7. When asked which commandments, what did Jesus say?
“Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou
shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honor thy father and
thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Verses 18, 19.
NOTE.—While not quoting all of the ten commandments, Jesus quoted
sufficient of them to show that He referred to the moral law. In
quoting the second great commandment He called attention to the
great principle underlying the second table of the law,—love to
one’s neighbor,—which the rich young man, in his covetousness, was
not keeping.
8. Does faith render the law void?
“Do we then make void the law through faith? _God forbid: yea, we
establish the law._” Rom. 3:31.
9. How is the law fulfilled?
“Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for _he that loveth another
hath fulfilled the law_. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou
shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment [touching our
duty to our fellow men], it is briefly comprehended in this saying,
namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Love worketh no ill to
his neighbor: therefore _love is the fulfilling of the law_.” Rom.
13:8-10.
10. What is of more importance than any outward ceremony?
“Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but _the keeping
of the commandments of God_.” 1 Cor. 7:19.
11. What kind of mind is not subject to the law of God?
“Because _the carnal mind_ is enmity against God: for it is not subject to
the law of God, neither indeed can be.” Rom. 8:7.
12. What proves that the law is an undivided whole?
“_For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he
is guilty of all._ For He that said [margin, _that law which said_], Do
not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no
adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So
speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.”
James 2:10-12.
13. How is sin defined?
“Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for _sin is the
transgression of the law_.” 1 John 3:4.
14. How may we know that we love the children of God?
“By this we know that we love the children of God, _when we love God, and
keep His commandments_.” 1 John 5:2.
15. What is the love of God declared to be?
“For _this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments_: and His
commandments are not grievous.” Verse 3.
