If you love God, do you know his ten commandments;
The ten commandment of God are;
- Thou shall not have any other gods before me(God).
- Thou shall not take the name of God in vain.
- Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
- Honor your Father and your Mother.
- Thou shall not kill.
- Thou shall not commit adultery.
- Thou shall not still.
- Thou shall not bear force weakness against your neighbor.
- Thou shall not covet your neighbors wife.
- Thou shall not covet your neighbors goods.
Why must we believe in what God had revealed?
Simply, we must believe in what God had revealed because God is very powerful and can neither deceive nor be deceived.
A writer once said "When the
arrow of God is no longer at ease, things begin to fall apart". Looking at the ruins, sins, faults, crimes, undermining the world we live in today. Do we thinks we are still obeying God and keeping His commandments? If you answered Yes, Then;
Why
do we keep dissenting to truth rather assenting to it.
Why
do we violets the laws of the church, state, society, e.t.c. Instead
of keeping them intact.
Why
do we keep underestimating our vocations instead of focusing in it
Why
are we so materialistic or worldliness instead of self developing.
Why
do we keep swimming in the ocean of sin rather than journeying
towards perfection.
Why
are our sins as dark as charcoal rather been white as snow.
Do we think we are
still the children of God or of Satan.
Are we still
walking in the light of Christ or in the darkness
of the devil
In fact, I
think the world is in a state of vice-versa.
But Above these mentioned; what do we think the chief cause Is?
Of course, it is our body.
Then, How
is our body the chief cause of these ruins undermining the world?
This is because we uses them
inappropriately for the purpose of things they are not meant for.
What are
these things our body are not meant for?
They are things contrary to the laws of the ten commandment, such as;
worshiping of gods, taking God's name in vain, not remembering and
keeping the Sabbath day holy, not honoring our father and mother,
killing, stealing, committing adulatory, bearing false weaknesses,
and coveting.
What then
is the purpose of our body? The
chief and principal purpose of our body is to be the temple of the
most high God.
WHAT MAKES OUR BODY
THE TEMPLE OF THE MOST HIGH GOD?
Indeed this question is so tricky, because it centers our mind
directly to the soul: through which we receive all graces that comes
from God, such as; baptism, confirmation, holy Eucharist, e.t.c.
Absolutely, you made no mistake when you say the soul. But the
question is; what made the soul what it is? Or more literally, what
makes the soul immortal? Indeed, there must be something in there that
gives it immortality. And what is that? God's image and likeness
alone.
HOW DOES GOD,S IMAGE
AND LIKENESS MAKE OUR BODY THE TEMPLE OF MOST HIGH GOD?
It's make
our body the temple of the most high God because, it bestowed in our
soul the spirit of understanding, of free will, and of immortality.
Which were the principle things of which our soul is like to God;
besides the things that makes our body the temple of the most high
God.
Hence,
these things sum up and build up the soul; in the sense that, they
gives life to our soul, They nourishes and strengthens our soul, And they increases our sanctifying grace. The absence of these things in our soul means, our soul is automatically dead. And when our soul is
automatically inactive, means that our body is useless or is just for
fancy. So in other to let God's image and likeness we were created of, work for us; We are to accept Jesus in our soul, we are to obey God's commandments, we are to pray in and out of the season. In conclusion, i would like us to recite the song below, in order to show God how prepaid we are to accept him in our soul.
I bind unto myself today
The strong name of the Trinity
By invocation of the same
The three in one and one in three.
I bind unto myself today
The power of God to hold and lead
His eyes to watch His might to stay
His ear to hearken to my need.
The wisdom of my God to teach
His hand to guide His shield to ward
The word of God to give me speech
His heavenly host to be my guard.
I bind unto myself the name
The strong name of the Trinity
By invocation of the same
The three in one and one in three.
Of whom all nature hath creation;
eternal Father, Spirit, Word;
praise to the lord of my salvation,
Salvation is of Christ the Lord.
