A friend of mine from Malawi this morning sent me this message on Whatsapp, I feel to share this to you.

QUESTION 3
…... "Teacher, what good thing must I
do to get eternal life?"
"Jesus answered……... if you want to
enter life, keep the commandments.Ma
tthew 19:16-17
If an inquirer after salvation were to
ask, "What must I do to inherit eternal
life?" the modern teachers of
sanctification would answer, "Only
believe that Jesus saves you."

But
when Christ was asked this question
He said, "What is written in the law?
Howreadest thou?" And when the
questioner replied, "Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and thy
neighbor as thyself," Jesus said, "Thou
hast answered right: this do, and thou
shalt live." Luke 10:26-28. {FLB 217.2}

And the LORD God said, Behold, the
man is become as one of us, to know
good and evil: and now, lest he put
forth his hand, and take also of the tree
of life, and eat, and live forever:

Therefore the LORD God sent him forth
from the Garden of Eden, to till the
ground from whence he was taken.So
he drove out the man; and he placed at
the east of the garden of Eden
Cherubims, and a flaming sword which
turned every way, to keep the way of
the tree of life. Genesis 3:22-24…

Blessed are they that do his
commandments that they may have
right to the tree of life, and may enter
in through the gates into the
city.Revelation 22:14.

In the earthly sanctuary, there was the
most Holy place where the Ark of the
Covenant was placed, and there were
two Cherubim at both ends of the
mercy seat on top of the ark, and the
mercy seat was placed where they met
God to receive His words of life.

Then,
why did God make two Cherubim at
both ends of the mercy seat on top of
the ark? It is because the tree of life
leading to eternal life was in the ark. In
other words, the Ten Commandments
were given instead of the tree of life
from what Adam and Eve had eaten.

The two Cherubim who guarded the
Ark of the Covenant also had flaming
sword.

So, when Uzzah put his hand
on the ark by mistake, he was killed;
and when the two son of Aaron
violated the command of God, a fire
came out of the ark and devoured
them to death- 2 Samuel 6:1-7,
Leviticus 10:1-3.

So Jesus said,' if you
want to enter into life, obey my
commandments'-Matthew 19:16…By
transgression Adam lost Eden.
By the
transgression of God's commandments
man will lose heaven, and an eternity
of bliss.

These are no idle tales, but
truth. . . . I ask, on which side are you
standing? {FLB 74.4}

"Do not think that I have come to
abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have
not come to abolish them but to fulfill
them. for truly I tell you, until heaven
and earth disappear, not the smallest
letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will
by any means disappear from the law
until everything is accomplished.

Therefore anyone who sets aside one
of the least of these commands and
teaches others accordingly will be
called least in the kingdom of heaven,
but whoever practices and teaches
these commands will be called great in
the kingdom of heaven.Matthew
5:17-19.
