30 The Ten Commandments case, of course, the ideas and practices of this group are at total variance with the laws and ways of Almighty God and with living by His every word. "Ye adulterers and adulteresses," God says, "Know ye not that the friendship of this world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the ENEMY of God" (James 4:4). Many religious "independents" in fact make a "god" out of a pet religious idea or theory that they have concocted - AND WHICH THEY WILL NOT GIVE UP TO SAVE THEIR ETERNAL LIVES! Such people often have many points of truth because they have departed from the "rut" into which so many religious denominations have fallen, but they are so filled with spiritual pride and VANITY that they are totally unable to see the obvious and in many cases the ridiculous error into which they themselves have fallen! They have made a veritable "god" out of their pet religious theory - and they serve that god zealously and unremittingly! What Do YOU Lack? A young man who had kept - or thought he had kept - all of God's commandments came to Christ and was wondering what he yet could do to be worthy of eternal life (Matt. 19:16-22). But Jesus knew that he was a wealthy young man and that he put that wealth before or in preference to God that he would SERVE that wealth before he would first serve God. So Christ told him to go and sell his treasure and give to the poor, and come and be His disciple. "But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions" (verse 22). Like so many people, this young man thought he was keeping God's commandments when actually he was BREAKING the first commandment by putting something else in place of God and serving it first and above the true God! He was also breaking the commandment against covetousness, because he lusted after and coveted that wealth more than he worshiped the God who made it. And he was certainly making an IDOL out of his wealth and
The First Commandment 31 position, because Paul was inspired to say that covetousness "is idolatry" (CoL 3:5). Thus, this self-righteous young man was directly breaking THREE of the Ten Commandments because of putting another god before the true God! In what is called the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Christ showed how the peoples of this world seek after material things and wealth and position (Matt. 6:24-32). Jesus commanded: "But seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things SHALL be added unto you" (verse 33). You are absolutely promised by Almighty God every material need and blessing if you will only seek FIRST God's way - and worship and OBEY Him! In this hurried, confused, modern age of luxury, gadgetry and wealth, this seems so HARD to do! But it is a living law that WORKS! You need to understand what is the most important thing in this entire life - in your life! Do you know? Would you believe it if Jesus Christ said so? What is the most important thing God commands YOU to do? When Jesus Christ your Saviour was asked this question, He answered: "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" (Matt. 22:37-38). Then Jesus continued: "And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets" (verses 39-40). On these two commandments hangs the DESTINY of ALL nations and individuals! If they will OBEY these two commandments as they are magnified throughout the Bible they will be blessed! If not, they will be cursed and will become wretched in their own confusion'and frustration! As Jesus said, the very writings of the prophets hang on whether or not nations obey or disobey God's Law. Every prophecy written against a nation shows that God foresaw that this nation would DISOBEY and turn away its
