Still remember what Kak Aini told us on 8 February 2009? It was about the 10 Commandments that God gave to Israelites. The rules are made so that their life will not be messy and according to God's Words. It will be better life.
They are:
1. You shall have no other gods before me.
2. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.
3. You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
4. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
These laws we should keep in our mind and do it in our daily life. From these laws, we can simplify to what Jesus teach his disciples.
They are:
Matthew 22:37 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
Matthew 22:39 "And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself"
Sounds simple, but it is not easy for us to do. Therefore we should always pray to God to enable us to do it according to his way.
