God writes HIS commandments for the children of Israel on tables of stone

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

 

Exodus 24

 

12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to ME into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

 

13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.

 

14 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them.

 

15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.

 

Exodus 31:18  And HE (God) gave unto Moses, when HE had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

 

Church goers today often long for those tables of stone written by God as if they can worship some type of idol seen by the natural eye.

 

But they deceive themselves for the Bible shows us the New Covenant is far better than the Old Covenant for the New Covenant is founded on better promises of God.

 

If you think the Old is better, try reading the Book of Leviticus.  (I really don't want to do that again!)

The New Testament Church today:

 

In the new covenant, the blood of Jesus pays for our sins so we no longer have to sacrifice animals for sins.

 

A very big difference also in the New Testament Church is all who believe in Jesus, the Word, are given the Holy Spirit of Jesus to live in each of them and guide them and teach them.

 

John 14:26 (Jesus says:)  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

 

John 16:13  Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear (from God), that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.  

 

I Corinthians 2:12  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

 

I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Concerning the new covenant, God says:

 

Hebrews 8

 

6 But now hath HE (Jesus) obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also HE is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

 

7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

 

8 For finding fault with them, HE saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

 

9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in MY covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

 

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put MY laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to ME a people:

 

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know ME, from the least to the greatest.

 

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

 

13 In that HE saith, A new covenant, HE hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

God has given the New Testament Church the New Testament Bible and the laws and commandments of God are contained in that Bible.

 

The New Testament Church is built upon the New Testament scriptures.  And we have in us the Holy Spirit of Jesus to guide us.  We are given the Spirit of Jesus after we are born again by the Word of Jesus and God speaks to us by HIS Spirit to recreate us by HIS Word.

 

II Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

 

When God speaks to us, we are changed instantly by HIS Word, though we continue to learn as Christians as we continue in this present life.

 

Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
