Hello Church Family,

New City Catechism Question 11
   What does God require in the sixth, seventh, and eighth commandments?
   Sixth, that we do not hurt, or hate, or be hostile to our neighbor, but be patient and peaceful, pursuing even our enemies with love. 
   Seventh, that we abstain from sexual immorality and live purely and faithfully, whether in marriage or in single life, avoiding all impure actions, looks, words, thoughts, or desires, and whatever might lead to them. 
   Eighth, that we do not take without permission that which belongs to someone else, nor withhold any good from someone we might benefit.
Love your neighbour as yourself. This sure sounds easy. Love, I can love my neighbour, right? But loving someone as I love myself?
This is where it gets hard.
The above statements are in harmony with Jesus’ explanation of the Law in the Sermon on the Mount. They remind us of what we should strive towards, and they show us just how desperately we need a Saviour!
Fleshing out the 10 Commandments, and their implications, reminds us to praise God that the Word became flesh and lived among us.
