Commandments Quotes

• Las musas delicadas pierden la cabeza si su atención se desvía una vez. Tal vez si tuvieras éxito en el extranjero hablando y tratando con los hombres, no volverías a tu estantería y a tu tarea. Cuando el espíritu te elige por su escriba para publicar algún mandamiento, te hace odioso a los hombres y a los hombres odiosos a ti, y aceptarás esa repugnancia con alegría. La polilla debe volar hacia la lámpara, y tú debes resolver esas cuestiones aunque mueras.

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

• ¿Qué es el pecado? Es la gloria de Dios no honrada. La santidad de Dios no reverenciada. La grandeza de Dios no admirada. No alabar el poder de Dios. No buscar la verdad de Dios. No se estima la sabiduría de Dios. No se atesora la belleza de Dios. No se saborea la bondad de Dios. No se confía en la fidelidad de Dios. No se obedecen los mandamientos de Dios. No se respeta la justicia de Dios. La ira de Dios no temida. No se aprecia la gracia de Dios. No se aprecia la presencia de Dios. La persona de Dios no amada. Eso es el pecado.

  John Piper

• To love God does not mean to meet His needs, but rather to delight in Him and to be captivated by His glorious power and grace, and to value Him above all other things on earth. All the rest of the commandments are the kinds of things that we will do from our hearts, if our hearts are truly delighted with and resting in the glory of God's grace.

  John Piper

• There must be a law if there is to be liberty. Try to play a piano and you will run into laws as fixed as the decrees of the Medes and Persians. But through those statutes you reach the songs, drudgery leads to delight. The law of Christ brings the liberty of Christ. Keep His statutes, and they become songs. The other side of commandment is conquest. What seems restraint to the outsider means release to you.

• Our obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure. This is good news, because it means very simply that the command to obey is the command to be happy in God. The commandments of God are only as hard to obey as the promises of God are hard to believe. The Word of God is only as hard to obey as the beauty of God is hard to cherish.

• Every Christian is chosen-chosen for similar deeds, namely: to be with the Lord, through unceasing remembrance of Him and awareness of His omnipresence, through the preaching and fulfillment of His commandments, and through a readiness to confess one's faith in Him. In those circles where such a confession is made, it is a loud sermon for all to hear.
