Jesus came into a world of complicated rituals and regulations to condense the pursuit of God into one word: love.
But he did more. Christ and his apostles showed us what healthy love is made of and how it can work most powerfully in our lives. The New Testament turns words of advice into life-changing promises. After a thorough investigation of what Jesus emphasized the most, Steven Mosley has uncovered the New Testament’s Ten Commandments, essential guidelines such as:
·Sustain joy
·Persist patiently
·Give cheerfully
The Old Testament’s Ten Commandments serve as moral boundaries. They show us where we don’t want to go. That’s important. But even more important are principles that show us how wonderful life can be inside those boundaries––positive admonitions that lay out the key components of happy, healthy lives.
