Description
We don't keep the Ten Commandments to get Jesus in us. It is when we accept Him and receive in us that we keep them. Think of it this way... People in the prisons are NOT released from prison on parole until they can prove they will keep the laws of the land. Why would the Almighty be any different? Why would He let those that break His law into His kingdom? If you can't keep the laws of His land, why should He let you into it? Now do you understand why it is written in, Revelation 22:14, "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."
The awesome thing about the New Covenant is that Jesus will HELP us keep His Law!
