So the question is now, should believers have any reason to still covet? You may think not, but the answer here might surprise you, because we should. What? How can this be?
The act of Suicide is very sad indeed. Not only does this selfish act cause people to grieve, but also causes the same person that killed themself to grieve over their new condition when they wake up in hell.
Jesus is our God and who we should be seeking in His church. This is because He is at the head of it, and not the corruption of man.
Exodus 20:3-7 (KJV) 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 […]

The next part of God’s sanctuary was the courtyard, of which the altar was to be placed. This is the outer part of where the sanctuary stood.
God’s instructions continued with a vail. On the tabernacle of God was to be made “a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims.” (Exodus 26:31)
Exodus 25:21,22 (KJV) 21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. 22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between […]

Exodus 24:9-11 (KJV) 9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body […]
How awesome is our God! This story of God’s people being in God’s presence is amazing. However, it only gets better from here.
Exodus 23:1,2 (KJV) 1 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. 2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
Our desires to help others in need is extended to our enemies as well. We go the extra mile, even though it may seem hard at first.
When it comes to witchcraft and idolatry, people should immediately know how wrong these things are, if they were familiar with the teachings of the Bible.
Exodus 21:22 (KJV) 22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
Allowing an evil act such as abortion comes with many consequences. This is doing what you think is right, though it goes against God’s will.
Exodus 20:18-20 (KJV) 18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. 19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: […]
I mentioned what a Christian’s life is like and also incorporated each commandment into each statement above. I did this that you may distinguish what a true Christian is like from a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Exodus 19:4-6 (KJV) 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above […]
I pray that you will heed what God told Moses, when he said, “go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes.” (Exodus 19:10)
Exodus 18:9-11 (KJV) 9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. 10 And Jethro said, Blessed be the Lord, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out […]
