116. Have compassion.
Jude 21-22 – Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And on some have compassion.
117. Have a good conscience.
1 Peter 3:16 – Having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.
Do what is right in the eyes of the Lord and nobody will be able to find fault in you.
118. Consider yourself dead to sin.
Romans 6:11 – Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
119. Redeem the time.
Ephesians 5:16 – Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Obey the commands of the Lord and emulate Christ in your life to the glory of God.
120. Resist the devil.
James 4:7 – Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
1 Peter 5:9 – Resist him (the devil), steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
120. Restore backsliders in meekness.
Galatians 6:1 – Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.
121. Put on the new man.
Ephesians 4:24 – And that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
Colossians 3:10 – And have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him.
We become the new man by our acquired knowledge of spiritual things and that come through Bible study. We can’t just sit back and say God “do me”. It’s up to us to be seekers after God by studying the knowledge of God.
122. Put on the whole armor of God.
Ephesians 6:11 – Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
We are powerless against Satan but we have the protection of God if we put it on.
123. Follow things that edify.
Romans 14:19 – Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and things by which one may edify another.
Making peace refers to learning how to witness for Christ and edifying is actually doing the witnessing to unbelievers.
124. Walk in the Spirit.
Galatians 5:25 – If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
We are saved. As we live our lives we are to obey the commands of God so we shine before men.
125. Hold fast to sound words.
2 Timothy 1:13 – Although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
The truth of God’s Word will set you free as it did for the Apostle Paul in the above verse. There are supposed to be 127 commands from God mentioned in the Bible. I seem to have misplace two of them. The missing commands could be the two commandments Jesus added to the original ten commandments which are: Matthew 22:37, “Love your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind” and Matthew 22:39, “Love your neighbor as yourself”.
