This set of commands from God is the “do” commands and the “let” commands. Let is just another way to say “do this”. The do and let commands require a little more effort and willpower on behalf of the believer. The more of God’s commands we cover the more likely we are to find redundancy, which I’ll try to point out. God usually gives us important information more than once and often multiple times to be sure we get it.
65. Do all things in decent order.
1 Corinthians 14:40 – Let all things be done decently and in order.
God wants believers to live their lives according to the instructions in the Bible.
66. Let your light shine.
Matthew 5:16 – Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Believers are called on to emulate Christ in their lives which will attract unbelievers to God and glorify the Father.
67. Let everyone deny himself.
Matthew 16:24 – If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
Believers are called on to obey the commands of God and suffer for Christ. Believers are called on not to conform to the world but to keep their eyes on Jesus. Believers are called on to bear up under the persecution they may face for worshiping God.
68. Let him share with the need.
Luke 3:11 – He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise.
One of the many verses where God commands us to give to those in need. See also “Do not be weary in well-doing” and “Give freely, willingly and purposely as God has prospered”.
69. Let no man deceive himself.
1 Corinthians 3:18 – Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.
God makes it clear the wisdom of men is foolishness. Get rid of pride and humble yourself before God and study His word that you may be counted wise.
70. Let everyone obey civil laws.
Romans 13:1 – Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
God placed governments over us. Obey their laws as long as they don’t contradict the commands of God.
71. Let your speech be with grace.
Colossians 4:6 – Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Be gracious to others and study God’s Word so you will have the wisdom to answer the questions others may have for you.
72. Let those who are taught support the teacher.
Galatians 6:6 – Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.
That’s why we have church pastors paid a salary by tithing from the congregation.
