We feel safe because we have set boundaries in life. Often, we understand there are certain things in life that will mess us up for good. So, through God's commandments we can have a better life when we do things how the creator designed us instead of following detrimental behaviors. Psalms 34:14 NKJV says, "Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. To do good is to keep God's good commandments. They are "right and good" it says in Deuteronomy 6:17-18. We started out by saying that we can a better life through God's commandments, therefore doing what is "right and good" brings us peace. Also, doing evil will separate us from God's good future kingdom for eternity. Psalms 37:27 NKJV says, "Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell forevermore." Keeping God's commandments brings God's goodness into our life, pleases God, and get us into God's future kingdom. God will judge every person for how they live. Psalms 9:7 NKJV says, "But the LORD shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment." Psalms 37:18 NKJV says, "The LORD knows the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever."
Now is the time to obey God. Be patient with our teaching and listen to our encouragement so that you will be encouraged to follow God the way you should. Deuteronomy 6:7 NKJV says, "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up." Understand that when we encourage you to keep God's Old Testament commandments that we are doing that for your own good even though we share some things frequently. God gave us His commandments for our good, for our 'wellbeing' and that is what we want for you. There was a very good historical economics teacher at Harvard that I used to enjoy listening to. He would use several examples to make his points and that helped me to understand what he was saying. Repetition can be a good thing.
Encouragement to keep God's commandments, following God the way we should, and obeying God will help us in life. By the way, we are commanded to do that, so make it a point to let people know why you are encouraging them. Tell them you want what is best for them, that you care about them, or you want them to have a good life, etcetera. Think of ways to express how you care about them or others. Joshua 1:8 NKJV says, "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success."
Keep God's good commandments that are able to help us in life and make us prosperous and successful. Yeshua came to encourage us to keep God's Old Testament commandments. That is why he said in Matthew 5:17-18 NKJV says, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law." In John 10, Yeshua is then referring to what it says in Joshua 1:8, namely that the law will help you to be "prosperous" and have "good success." John 10:10 NKJV says, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." Of course, Yeshua also gives us the Holy Spirit which is "another helper" (see John 14:15-17). The first helper is the law, God's good commandments.
