The details of God‘s law
Don’t matter as much
As your intent and spirit do.
For example, if we keep the Sabbath on Sunday
Because of the resurrection of Jesus,
This is OK.
But, it’s not OK
To lie, murder, steal, or
To dishonor your mother and father,
Because all these commandments
Are about loving our neighbor as ourselves.
But you don’t only have to keep the Commandments
From the
Old Testament,
But also from the New Testament
Such as forgiving others,
Loving your enemies,
Loving God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.
Fill your heart with love, joy, peace, patience,
Kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control
Because against these things, there is no law
With the help of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and Mother
Mary
We shall be able to keep God’s moral law
And enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
You give us a needed reminder of both the Old And New Testament commandments in a lovely shaped poem.
